Communicator and mozilla recognize 3 MIME types for downloading certs, as
explained in 

http://home.netscape.com/eng/security/comm4-cert-download.html#communicator

These mime types were intended for http or https servers to use to download
the certs directly into the browser.  That works with both Communicator
and mozilla/N6, AFAIK.

With Communicator, you can associate file name extensions with each of those
3 mime types, and then use file:/// URLs to load certs with the appropriate
file name extensions into Communicator.  That should also work with mozilla,
but I don't know if it actually does or not (you could try it and let us
know.)

http://home.netscape.com/eng/security/comm4-cert-download.html also explains
the different data/file formats that are acceptable to Communicator and PSM
(mozilla/N6) for downloading certs and cert chains.
