you probably want to copy paste the whole block, so from -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- till -----END CERTIFICATE, including everything in between to that field.
same for the key, which you certainly need.
as a final remark, you are aware that firepass isn't supported any more?

you want to look at replacing that solution because at some point it will either break or become breached and then you are in trouble.
one issue is that firepass won't support sha256 certs and most certificate vendors will only sell you sha256 certs now, so you might already have an issue there
