OK, we require them, how do we get them added to the list of future fuctionality and what is the usual timeframe for something like this to make it from design to release?
The first step to get this into Mozilla would be to file a bug in bugzilla, of type "enhancement request", on component "PSM" (Personal Security Manager).
The next step would be to find a programmer to implement it. As far as I am aware, there is no one officially working on PSM at this time. So you may want to contribute your own time or find a programmer willing to add the functionality. At the core it is not very difficult with NSS, I suspect the user interface work is the most complicated part.
When importing certificates, it would appear that certs stored in binary do not work, only pem or base64 encoded certs seem to be able to be imported. Is this correct?
Cert in binary should work.
Make sure you receive no extra data at the end.
As Jean-Marc said, binary certs should work. Try to use the extension ".der" for the ones that don't work and see if that fixes the problem.
Further investigation shows that binary certs do work (some of the time). I can take a binary (or base64) encoded cert and import into the "Other" store, sometimes it just does not work and I get a silent failure i.e. no notice of fail, cert just does not show up (perhaps this could be a refresh issue????) But if I just try the cert again, next time around it seems to work - this appears to be a bug.
The UI part for importing certs in Mozilla certainly seems weak. You should file a bug for it (again against PSM).
