I'm pretty sure that something is initializing NSS in the firefox process
before PSM does, and is initializing it with a strange directory name.
The questions are:
- what code in Firefox could possibly use ldap over ssl before PSM
initializes NSS?
- What would invoke it?

The folks in the cited bug think it must be invoked in a FF extension.

Regarding the possibility of it being Sun's PAM-LDAP module, what would
cause that to run inside the firefox process?

My extremely limited understanding of PAM is that it runs inside OS programs
that do OS Identification and Authentication (I&A), programs such as
/bin/login and su.  Firefox is not an OS I&A program, so what would PAM-LDAP
be doing running inside of the firefox process space?
