Like others, I'm manually symlinking .so files on all of my interactive
hosts and hoping updates don't break it. IMO this is not a valid
workaround.

@ahasenack - I understand this is a roadmap item that would ideally
resolve for multiple packages, but it seems that the Mozilla products
are the worst offenders at the moment. I don't see anyone requesting
anything else in this bug. Would it be possible to at least resolve it
for Firefox and Thunderbird? What would it take to get this looked at
for the next LTS?

For now, Thunderbird needs this too (and works for me on 18.0.3 LTS):

sudo mv /usr/lib/firefox/libnssckbi.so /usr/lib/firefox/libnssckbi.so.bak
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkcs11/p11-kit-trust.so 
/usr/lib/firefox/libnssckbi.so
sudo mv /usr/lib/thunderbird/libnssckbi.so 
/usr/lib/thunderbird/libnssckbi.so.bak
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkcs11/p11-kit-trust.so 
/usr/lib/thunderbird/libnssckbi.so

  SSL trust not system-wide

Bug description:
  When I install a corporate CA trust root with update-ca-certificates,
  it doesn't seem to work everywhere. Various things like Firefox,
  Evolution, Chrome, etc. all fail to trust the newly-installed trusted
  CA.

  This ought to work, and does on other distributions. In p11-kit there
  is a module p11-kit-trust.so which can be used as a drop-in
  replacement for NSS's own libnssckbi.so trust root module, but which
  reads from the system's configured trust setup instead of the hard-
  coded version.

  This allows us to install the corporate CAs just once, and then file a
  bug against any package that *doesn't* then trust them.

  See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/SharedSystemCertificates
  for some of the historical details from when this feature was first
  implemented, but this is all now supported upstream and not at all
  distribution-specific. There shouldn't be any significant work
  required; it's mostly just a case of configuring and building it to
  make use of this functionality. (With 'alternatives' to let you
  substitute p11-kit-trust.so for the original NSS libnssckbi.so, etc.)
