This is only true for multiple concurrent read accesses. Multiple concurrent read accesses are also safe for the NSS cert and key databases. The problem only occurs when there is a concurrent write access. Most NSS-based server applications open the NSS databases in read-only mode, so they can run with multiple processes safely. But client applications such as Firefox and Thunderbird open the NSS databases in read-write mode.
