DAMN! That's quite something!

For a piece of open source software you really have very little control with firefox. It really sucks that the alternatives are worse.

This, likely for almost all of their users, creates more of a security problem than signature checking actually solves. For me noscript no longer works which is (IMO) a critically important extension (between mozilla taking away the disable javascript button and spector.)

OTOH, it's opensource, and you can re-compile it in like 20-30 minutes with whatever changes you desire. So you have the control. You can probably even add some hacked up support for multiple signing certificates (and add yours there), if you tried.

It's just that it's more work than having what you want implmeneted and maintained by others.
