This is more of a feature request than a bug report. When going to website which
requires a client digital certificate, such as www.oati.net. When automatic
client certificate selection is enabled, the browser will pick the wrong
certificate on some configurations. This occurs even when there are only two
possible certificate choices and the company name for one of the certificates is
"oati inc.". Anyways, if a little intelligence is added to the auto selection,
this will make it a lot easier for some users who have a hard time choosing one
long crypo-string over another from the "Choose a certificate" dialog box.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install multiple client certificates.
2. Go to a web site that needs a client certificate.
3. See if it picks the right one.

Actual Results:  
It picks the wrong certificate.

Expected Results:  
Pick the certificate based on expected CA or company.

This should require very little coding.
