Comment(by mikeperry):

 Looks like the intermediate cert store is in cert8.db, which appears to be
 opened by
 https://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla2.0/source/security/nss/lib/softoken/legacydb/lginit.c#360

 However, I'm not sure how the NSS initialization boils down to this yet.
 It looks like we may be able to control the use of the db file via a
 parameter in nss_init, but I am not seeing the connection just yet:
