A follow up to the previous message.
Although Mozilla NSS has excellent C-based API and command line tool for 
generation of PKCS#10 based CSR,
Mozilla PSM does not expose any XPCOM based API for PKCS#10 to be used 
within browser.
Mozilla JSS has API for generation of PKCS#10 API but in my opinion it 
is quite
difficult use JSS directly from Javascript API (all those 
SecurityManager related problem shows up).
That is why we have defined the XPCOM API for PKCS#10 in our extension.
