Export/Backup my Grid Certificate from my Browser

  PKCS#12, the Personal Information Exchange Syntax Standard, defines a portable format for storing or transporting personal identity tokens, including private keys and certificates. This enables you to import, export, and share your personal identity information among applications that support this standard. In particular, browsers such as Microsoft IE or Mozilla Firefox can export PKCS#12 files (with .pfx/.p12 suffix).

  We strongly recommend that you export/backup your Grid certificate as a .pfx/.p12 file (if you uninstall/remove your browser or your browser keystore gets corrupted you will not lose your Grid certificate).

The procedure varies according to your browser:
