Open Tools-Options-LibreOffice-Security-Certificate Path-Certificate..
Click Select NSS Path... 
See it doesn't show hidden folders and files - but exactly in hidden folders is Mozilla path. 

Maybe related to some Linux setting, but even if I show hidden files in my Linux Mint, this dialog still doesn't show them.
To add to the issue, browse dialog doesn't allow path to typed, just selected.

Confirming also on macOS Catalina 10.15.4, one has to know which hidden folder to look for and force the Finder dialogue to display it with Shift-Cmd-G.

Confirmed.

I tested with Linux 50max under Ubuntu 14.04 and there I saw all hidden folder and files. Oldest of Linux 6.3 repo does not show them.

In Mint 19.3 based on Ubuntu 18.04, I don't see hidden folders with LO 5.0max.
I had to use "gen", couldn't start otherwise. 
Not sure it it's related to OS then.

You are right, with gen the hidden folders are not seen in 50max. So gtk2 was working in this case. It is possible that gen, gtk3 and kf5 never worked. Would be cool to hear more testing results with newer repos.

Seems I was wrong. 
File dialog has right-click option "Show Hidden Files".

Comment 6 Timur 2022-01-04 14:48:25 UTC

File dialog has right-click option "Show Hidden Files" in GTK, so hidden folder can be found.
With GEN this doesn't work, but I wouldn't keep the bug for GEN.
