I don't think we should do anything to perpetuate such confusion,
at least as long as we have both browsers in the release.

Ideally, the need to delete *any* certs would be exceptional...
Identifying a need to delete just one of the certs doesn't seem
dramatically less probable to me.
In choosing to add zap-firefox-certs, I was also following what
seemed to be a precedent -- we already had separate scripts to
delete netscape and mozilla certificates. There is also a
"zap-certificates" script, which currently just outputs a
blurb directing the user to the individual scripts; maybe the
best compromise is to resuscitate that script to invoke both
the zap-mozilla and zap-firefox scripts. (I confess I do
not know what a previous version of this script actually did).
