You must be missing the root certificates module. It is called nssckbi.dll on OS/2. First check if you have that file. If you do and the root certs aren't showing : Did you copy or migrate an old secmod.db file from 4.61 ? If so, the root certs module may not be loaded. Try deleting the secmod.db in your current mozilla profile, or creating a new profile with is own secmod.db.
