New description:

 While Torbutton is activated in my Firefox browser, exporting personal
 certificates becomes impossible.

 Instead of displaying the passphrase dialog before exporting the PKCS#12
 exchange file, an alert box states that
 the certificate export fails for an "unknown reason".

 This problem appears only when the torbutton is installed and enabled in
 the session. It disappear when the torbutton is
 disabled (or uninstalled, of course). It impacts only the personal (with
 private key) certificate, not root certificates.

 In order to reproduce the problem, you should import a personal email
 certificate from thawte.com (it's free)
 or cacert.org (it's free too, but need to import a root certificate to
 recognize cacert).

 At least, you should update the FAQ / troubleshooting topic advising to
 disable temporarily torbutton when user has to
 export his certificates.
