 Hi,

 I would really like to be allowed to add CACert as a CA for a TBB session
 (process would be accessing the certificates either via https://cacert.org
 or local files, clicking on them and checking the "Trust this CA to
 identify websites.". Because I rather carry the fingerprint of this one CA
 than _all_ the CACert certified websites I might use.

 This also plays into Tails where I might want to trust CACert
 persistently.

 Affected versions:
 Tor Browser in Tails 1.2.2
 TBB 4.0.2 x64
 TBB 4.5-alpha-2 x64

 Thank you.
