Are you asking for a Mozilla extension or a PKIX extension? If the latter, none 
is needed: it is already inherent in PKIX. In fact, I am not sure that anything 
needs to be done by Mozilla. The following should theoretically work:

- Remove all trust anchors one-by-one
- Add your single trust anchor
- Sign the certs of any CA you want
- Add those signed certs to the pre-loaded validation path (not root) cert list

I haven't tried this myself, but it should work. I have been told that 
something very similar to it works fine in XP/Vista for IE.
