To add HTTPS capabilities to the autopilot test suite, we need a way to
inject custom root certificates into oxide. Oxide has a test helper
called oxideSetNSSDbPath(…) but it’s not a public API, so it can’t be
used by webbrowser-app. There is also a patch in oxide that removes the
ability to load a shared NSS database from $HOME/.pki/nssdb/, so we
can’t point $HOME to a temporary directory and add custom certificates
there.

According to https://bugs.launchpad.net/oxide/+bug/1260048/comments/10,
chromium is going to move away from NSS at some point in the future
anyway.

This bug is now blocked on oxide using a custom, application-specific
place to store custom certificates.
