This sample code assumes that this thread is
the only thread that may initialize NSS in the
app.
This assumption is false.
As he is trying to do a Firefox extension, his code will live in the
same process as the rest of NSS, therefore I think he should not go that
path.
Only if you can be *absolutely* sure that your own code will run prior
to any other PSM/NSS code, and only if you can be *absolutely* sure that
your "special ealy code" will be completed prior to any other PSM/NSS
code, you could try the approach illustrated by Wan-Teh.
If you have doubts, it's likely that there will be a race between your
own code and the global PSM code, and things will fail.
