I don't see what's crude in there, sorry.

err, maybe you should clean it up a bit to a sane size?

No way. Too much a change.

Huh?
$ find .mozilla -name "cert8.db"
.mozilla/firefox/fpxsk24r.default/cert8.db
Because it's in that "random string" dir you have to use find..

Well, if you let your mozilla profile grow to 4G...

It uses the certificates (using NSS) for XML signing.

It looks for one cert8.db. Whether that's right or not is not the business
of the snippet - I know it's too unflexible but we needed a solution to
make document signing work out of the box.

No.
OOo 3.1 will have reworked code (http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=92087),
though, which makes the snippet unnecessary.
Maybe I'll backport it for 3.0, but for 2.4.1 the train has long left.
