I have to say that I am very disapointed with a fact that it is not possible to write an app that would use Mozilla certificate store (cert8.db & key3.db) except that one close (shut down) all Mozilla browser instances...It is true that multiple processes, ALL of whom use read-only mode, can simultaneously use the cert and key DBs. But if even one process has the DB open read-write, then the others may not safely use it. The browser always holds them open RW.
I have already written one app that uses Internet Explorer (Windows) certificate store to sign/verify data and I was hoping to make cross browser/platform solution. There are no problems with multitrhreading or concurent certificate store access in IE. Certificate store does not have password, instead it shows warning dialog (with OK & Cancel buttons) everytime one app try to access some private key. This behavior (showing a dialog) could be disabled (turned off) or replaced by dialog which asks for private key PIN code. I like it.
