Igor's original email didn't mention tokens.  It mentioned modules.
He asked: "How can I add new criptografic modules on firefox by JSS?"

Cryptographic modules are PKCS#11 modules, shared libraries that
implement the PKCS#11 API, and are loaded by NSS, and whose names are
typically recorded in secmod.db.  I understood him to be asking how to
add new PKCS#11 modules to the secmod.db of a Java program (or applet)
using JSS.

That's quite a different question than asking for an updated list of
tokens in the slots of existing loaded PKCS#11 modules.

So, I'll ask Igor here:  Did you mean "tokens" when you wrote "modules"?

Yes, in a previous incarnation, many of us worked with various brands
of PKCS#11 tokens on Windows systems.  That was long ago in a galaxy far
far away.  :)  Today, none of us develops primarily on (or for) Windows.
