NSS is generally updated in order to release Firefox, I am not aware of a chronic issue here. We compile NSS differently than what Mozilla does, for example we use the Fedora OS trust anchors, and the Fedora Crypto-Policies, etc.. it is not just about vulnerabilities, system integration matters too. But we *have* released patches for security vulnerabilities in NSS w/o requiring also a full recompile and retesting of Firefox.
