Add Firefox Security Device (via CLI)

Use the following commands to add a security device module to Firefox. Ensure Firefox is closed while running these commands! modutil comes with the installation of libnss3-tools.

securityModuleDeviceName="My Awesome Module"
securityModulePath="/usr/lib/libBlaBla.so"
# We use cert9.db and "sql:..." since cert8.db is in the legacy format
for devicedDB in $(find  ~/.mozilla* -name "cert9.db")
do
  certDir=$(dirname ${devicedDB});
  modutil -dbdir "sql:${certDir}" -create -force
  modutil -dbdir "sql:${certDir}" -add "${securityModuleDeviceName}" -libfile "${securityModulePath}" -force
  modutil -dbdir "sql:${certDir}" -enable "${securityModuleDeviceName}" -force
done
