Am I alone in not having problems? I installed the mozilla .deb. Then, as root, ran Mozilla and followed the directions to install PSM. Once done, I exited out of Mozilla, ran it under my user account, and had PSM & SSL working fine. Hopefully, when M19 comes around PSM will no longer be an extra step, but there will always be some XPI's that are. I don't want users to be able to install XPI's, so doing it as root works just fine for me. -Gleef
