I suspect this is an unexpected interaction between Mozilla assuming that NSS would have updated user db files to the newer sqlite format and RHEL's NSS library which is still configured to use the old format. Some more details are still being worked out in bug reports: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__bugzilla.redhat.com_show-5Fbug.cgi-3Fid-3D1633932&d=DwICaQ&c=gRgGjJ3BkIsb5y6s49QqsA&r=gd8BzeSQcySVxr0gDWSEbN-P-pgDXkdyCtaMqdCgPPdW1cyL5RIpaIYrCn8C5x2A&m=Ohd3LJTuLnfcQyaRa-48fG2Vlowxl2Dn9QM1IZf9M_E&s=JWnnHe-sXVSb3Ead62rCI-yJ8gdEgZUUMPId-Vu4MYE&e= https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__bugzilla.mozilla.org_show-5Fbug.cgi-3Fid-3D1475775&d=DwICaQ&c=gRgGjJ3BkIsb5y6s49QqsA&r=gd8BzeSQcySVxr0gDWSEbN-P-pgDXkdyCtaMqdCgPPdW1cyL5RIpaIYrCn8C5x2A&m=Ohd3LJTuLnfcQyaRa-48fG2Vlowxl2Dn9QM1IZf9M_E&s=FUTiBdD6gXzRMSFV97smCEcndT_7RrbTefwOVHK7sk0&e= Looks like restoring key3.db is all that is needed. Another fun fact is that the first time you run 60.2.1 it's okay, but the second time will fail because it has removed key3.db. -- Orion Poplawski Manager of NWRA Technical Systems 720-772-5637 NWRA, Boulder/CoRA Office FAX: 303-415-9702 3380 Mitchell Lane [log in to unmask] Boulder, CO 80301 https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.nwra.com_&d=DwICaQ&c=gRgGjJ3BkIsb5y6s49QqsA&r=gd8BzeSQcySVxr0gDWSEbN-P-pgDXkdyCtaMqdCgPPdW1cyL5RIpaIYrCn8C5x2A&m=Ohd3LJTuLnfcQyaRa-48fG2Vlowxl2Dn9QM1IZf9M_E&s=Ys_SR8Y78vBFkdie8HPi-CQEGdrz9DfFX8oE_JsY__Q&e=
