This became more relevant since Sun/Oracle java is now much harder to install, making Ubuntu less user friendly.

The NSS provider is now enabled by default, breaking the applications using the Firefox certificate database, since it is not possible to unload the provider once it is already loaded. Applications using JSS are also broken. http://icedtea.classpath.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=473 Currently we are advising our end user customers to remove OpenJDK and install Sun Java as a workaround. Alternative is to remove the provider from security.policy, but it is not possible without a root. The reason for auto enabled NSS patch inside Icedtea was to add support for ECC algorithms (Elliptic curve cryptograph) so unit tests would pass. But it is possible add provider inside code providing such algorithms in rare case you need it. However for Keystore support there is no alternative with nss enabled patch (http://icedtea.classpath.org/hg/icedtea6/file/756cd53fa326/patches /icedtea-nss-config.patch).
