Before you proceed you must do

• If you have smart card reader and smart card from Infonotary, but you didn't install the drivers for them do the following Installation of smart card reader and smart card drivers in Windows

• IMPORTANT WHEN USING THE PRODICTS OF MOZILLA!!!: When you use Mozilla prodsucts you must know, that it uses direct access to smart cards. When we install succesfully certificates in Mozilla Firefox or Thunderbird , WE MUST NOT delete them from there, because that way we will delete them from the smart card along the public and private keys!

Install Infonotary certificate chain

Before you can start using the certificate, you must install the Infonotary certificate chain.

Certificate chain for certificates issued before 08.01.2018 - INotaryCertChain.p12.

Certificate chain for certificates issued after 08.01.2018 - InfoNotary_Qualified_eIDAS.p12

Start Firefox Quantum. From the menu, choose Preferences.

From Privacy & Security, choose View Certificates.

Choose the tab Your certificates and click on Import.

Specify the path to certification chain - INotaryCertChain.p12 or InfoNotary_Qualified_eIDAS.p12

Leave the field blank and click OK.

Newly installed certificates can be found in section Authorities.

In Mozilla for every certificate of a Certification Authority (CA) the user must choose a level of trust. This is done by selecting the certificate and clicking on Edit Trust. The easiest way to do this setting for the certificate "InfoNotary CSP Root" and/or "InfoNotary TSP Root" select two possible options. This will make all the InfoNotary trusted certificates for all operations.
