I'll love to know if Mozilla/Firefox is going to provide something (even out-of-standard) to make possible using PKCS#11/NSS with Webcrypto. This will fill the gap that currently exist with hardware token support (which, is going to be discussed nexr 10th September) Regards.

After reading bsmith message i have two questions coming to my mind... In normal usage, cert8/key3/secmod (some may apply) are rewrited on firefox close. Is this really necessary? But, AFAICT, it is OK to do I/O during shutdown as long as you don't care whether you get interrupted or not.
