[cabfpub] Browsers & Enrollment (was Re: Edge Browser Can'tView Certificate)

[Robin Alden]

Hi Gerv,
	I thought NSS had its own certificate store.  

How should we get a certificate into a user's NSS certificate store so that it could be used for SSL client authentication within FireFox or as an S/MIME certificate in Thunderbird unless Mozilla provide a means to do so?

Regards
Robin
