From the left side of the settings screen, click "Privacy & Security" and then click "View Certificates":

Import the DNSSEC certificate

Click "import..." at the bottom of this window and navigate to the certificate from the welcome page:

Click both "trust" boxes in the dialog box that opens after importing the certificate:
