After reading bsmith message i have two questions coming to my mind...

In normal usage, cert8/key3/secmod (some may apply) are rewrited on
firefox close. Is this really necessary?

Didnt interrupting the shutdown process could corrupt cert8/key3/secmod?

As we have developed our own pkcs#11 module (hence, it can be buggy),
ill love to know what should we check regarding this.
We have noticed sometimes Firefox doesnt invoke C_Finalice, so how
could we clean-exit?
