When I opened the device manager (preferences -> advanced -> certificates -> security devices) I was surprised to find the following entry under "Root Certs":

path /home/<user name>/.mozilla/firefox/<profile name>/libnssckbi.so

The corresponding file does not exist at this location (the correct location is /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/nss/libnssckbi.so).

I'm wondering how this entry originated, and whether it should be deleted? It is dated Nov 2012. A fresh profile does not have any root certs in the device manager.

The correct location of the libnssckbi.so file would be the Firefox installation directory and not the Firefox profile folder (~/.mozilla/firefox/).

Indeed. I have never set this preference manually, so I'm wondering what the preferences->advanced->certificates->security_devices->Root_Certs preference does, and whether setting it to a strange value could compromise security?
