Hi,

I would like to create a plug-in for Firefox that, when invoked, generates a
new key in the Firefox key/certificate store. Is it possible to generate a
new keypair in using NSS from the plug-in, or do I need to somehow call
crypto.generateCRMF() via javascript from the plug-in?

Thanks in advance,
James
