Perhaps a good compromise might be for the zap-mozilla-certs script
to check for the existence of ~/.mozilla/firefox/, and say something
like "Remember, to delete your firefox certificates, you need to run
zap-firefox-certs."
Personally, I'd pull for a unified "delete all my certs" script (or
perhaps a script that presents users with all the possible choices,
like a wrapper script), as it would make life easier for Accounts &
OLC (at least IMHO), however I could see why people might want
separate scripts, and in that case, I think the above is a good
compromise.
