How can I change to a different SSL certificate without restarting FF?
I work in a helpdesk environment and my team requires the use of two different SSL certificates for one particular website depending on what we are doing. I can only find the following two ways to do this:
1. Restart Firefox - this is really unproductive due to the nature of our work we have a lot of things open and in use in different tabs/windows and restarting firefox makes us lose information/progress (it's not the kind of stuff that re-opening the tabs automatically will fix). 2. Wait 20 minutes after the last use of the certificate for it to time out and then Firefox will ask us to choose the certificate next time we try to access the page - obviously this is a pretty asinine solution and won't really work. (:
I'm just wondering if there is some way to force Firefox to change certificates or forget the one that is currently in use for the site?

You can try to clear the active logins via History > Clear Recent History.
Thanks for the suggestion, I should've mentioned I'd already tried that without success. I tried clearing everything in the Clear Recent History section actually but the certificate is still remembered.
I've also just now tried deleting the certificates completely but not even that works - a little concerning. (:
