I am interested in adding a build option to Firefox that would allow

Note that Firefox doesn't use OpenSSL....
and many claims have been made that it is significantly faster
as well. I was pointed in the direction of this group as a resource.
What will I need to know or do in order to get started on this?
The library Firefox uses for SSL and various other crypto stuff is NSS.
I believe that we can actually make use of some of the more esoteric
features there (like hardware tokens, etc).
So a good starting point would be seeing which NSS APIs we use and
whether CyaSSL can replace those...
