I'm a little confused.  You keep saying you want the browser's security 
but I'm assuming you don't realize the Mozilla browsers all use NSS for 
their crypto and key/cert storage and leave (in your words) "the 
cert8.db, secmod.db, and key3.db accessible to all & sundry."

The only protection those files have on most systems, besides the 
password to access the key db, is they are in the browser's profile 
folder which is typically under a user's homedir and only accessible to 
the user and any administrative/root users.
