What are 'PSM Private Keys' [Options-Advanced-Certificates-Security Devices] For*? What happens if I "load" them?
Under the Certificates tab in Advanced is 'Security Devices' apparently already in mozilla... but not "loaded". In these Security Devices is one called " .... PSM Private Keys" that I have the OPTION to "Load", but I can find no explanation as to What this is (I can guess, but since it ISN'T "loaded" already, I don't think it has anything to do with "Private Browsing"). What happens if I "Load" any (there are others there under "Security Devices, also*), or This* "Security Device"..? What function does this thing serve?
