The problem is not with your certificate, but with the certificate of the
CA that issued your certificate.

You cannot get the CA to add the extensions to their certificate.

Many "how to" documents for NSS tools have been written and published on
the web.  several of them contain errors.  Consequently, the NSS team does
not support any documentation except the docs on *.mozilla.org and
perhaps on sun.com and redhat.com (where many of the NSS developers are
employed).  So, if you're getting unexpected results from following the
example on a particular web page, you must ask the author of that page
for support.

Is it really a root CA?
Or is it subordinate to another one of Thawte's root CA certs?
