Long story short, I made the horrible mistake of collecting my StartCom S/MIME certificate from my Android. I can't use the desktop browser to download it, because I don't have it to authenticate me.

I need to export it from Firefox Mobile so that I can at least store a backup copy.

If you downloaded it to the device you should install a file manager app and browse to /mnt/sdcard/download/ the exact path may vary a little bit but it should end in sdcard/download/

Then use that to share the file to your other computer maybe via bluetooth or move the file to a folder visible when you attach the phone to a computer the folder used by the camera is normally reachable.

The certificate wasn't downloaded, it was installed as an S/MIME certificate. There is intentionally no way to do otherwise. The site gives instructions for exporting or backing it up, but these are for the desktop Firefox.

There is no UI to dump certificates for Firefox for Android.
