Well, I just found something sort of interesting. It looks like the certs
end up in the file libnssckbi.so when NSS builds. Firefox used to have
this file at /usr/lib/firefox/libnssckbi.so, but now it's just there as the
NSS copy at /usr/lib/libnssckbi.so. However, the NSS copy still appears to
have the certs.

If I do 'ln -s /usr/lib/libnssckbi.so /usr/lib/firefox/.', I get a copy of
firefox that has all the root certs and appears to work like it should.
So, we apparently still have the certs, we just have to make the browsers
use them. I don't know if this ln is the way to do that, or if the "right
way" is something else.

Arwed, can you see if you see something similar for mozilla/galeon?

The symlink would allow the certs to be updated by just updating nss
instead of having to update mozilla, firefox, galeon, etc. That may be
a benefit. :)
