A website I visit often was having SSL certificate issues. I did not know what certificate I needed to remove in order to get it working again... So I removed ALL of my security certificates/authorities.

I did not realize it would be near impossible to restore them.

Now every website I go to is "untrusted" and I need to confirm a security exception.

How do I restore the certificates/authorities to the default state?

I tried removing firefox and reinstalling, but that did not fix it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. At this point I'm tempted to just switch to Chrome or another browser.
