That dll/so only exists to load the roots and it doesn't harm anything 
by not being there.  I think the reason it is a shared library is that 
it implements a very minimal certs-only PKCS11 module.  Just be careful, 
if you do change the roots you cannot distribute the browser as 
"Firefox" anymore.  If you google for it, you can find instructions on 
how to build a custom nssckbi module.
