I develop Java Applets. I sign them with a "phony" self-signed
certificate. At some time In the past, I asked Firefox to
automatically grant permission every time I run one of my signed
Applets. I would like to revoke that permission so I can debug what
happens when I run my Applets without the needed permission. How do I
revoke it? I can't find my code-signing certificate listed in Firefox
anywhere. I could not find it in IE either.

It's difficult to be rigorous about whether a machine really knows,
thinks, etc., because we’re hard put to define these things.
We understand human mental processes only slightly better than
a fish understands swimming.

I tried using the Java Control Panel to clear the cache. That did not
work, but it led me to the solution. In the Java Control Panel |
Security Certificates was my code-signing cert. I removed it, and
Firefox started asking me to grant permission again.
