Currently once the certificates are configured, there is no way to unconfigure
them except through the manual editing of the prefs file.

In the security account settings pane, you should be able to select the cert 
text and delete it.

jglick, thanks for your suggestion. I have integrated it into the patch I
attached to bug 115294.

Things changed, we will not land the patch with bug 115294 that I originally
thought I would be able to land.

Stephane suggested that a clear button would be a prefered solution to clear the
configuration, because if we allowed the user to erase the text by selecting and
deleting, this would mean the edit field is editable (it is currently read
only), and as a side effect the user would also be able to type into the cert
name box. However, we don't want the user to type into the box.

The latest patch in bug 115294 now uses clear buttons.
