More exactly, no one has yet done this.
Until that happens, NSS databases will only be shareable if all applications are opening them open read-only.
SQLite is currently getting inside Mozilla/Firefox to replace the current history and cache /solutions/. It's public domain :

In fact, if you read the comments of Unified_Storage, the use of SQLite as a replacement for the instance of NSS included in Mozilla is a very probable event for the future.
NSS already has the hooks to allow applications to share databases, as long as the applications supply an appropriate database (SQLite, I believe, fits the bill). There have been applications that have shipped that use that interface. If an application has the ability to configure the NSS config directory (such as the NSS command line tools), that application can join that shared database without modification.
Anyway I agree with Jean-Marc, This area will be addressed in the very near future.
