Firefox now (since 58) uses a SQLite database cert9.db instead of legacy cert8.db. I have made a fix to a solution presented here to make it work with new versions of Firefox:

certificateName="MyCA Name" 
for certDB in $(find  ~/.mozilla* ~/.thunderbird -name "cert9.db")
do
  certDir=$(dirname ${certDB});
  #log "mozilla certificate" "install '${certificateName}' in ${certDir}"
  certutil -A -n "${certificateName}" -t "TCu,Cuw,Tuw" -i ${certificateFile} -d sql:${certDir}
done
