Is it possible to make Firefox use the built-in Windows certificate store? Obviously this would only apply to Firefox for Windows, but it makes it a lot easier for an organization to trust internally-generated root certificates that can be pushed out with Windows GPO's. IE has this (obviously) but Chrome also uses the Windows Certificate Store. I know there is a command-line tool (certutil) to modify the Firefox database, but what a pain! :)

Thanks

No, that is not possible.

You already know about certutil.
