I believe (but am not sure) that PEM format may contain the object in

encrypted, when you set a passphrase, and thus PEM is considered too
insecure a format to support for NSS and Mozilla, at least as far as
private keys are concerned.
I can protect PEM format objects with passphrases using OpenSSL.
