Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008072612 GranParadiso/3.0.1

None of the "Builtin Object Token" authorities are deletable.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Goto Authorities Certificates list (Edit (menu) -> Preferences (menu item) -> Advanced (tab) -> View Centificates (button) -> Authorites (tab)).
2. Select any "Builtin Object Token" authority and click the delete button.
3. Confirm you want to delete in the dialog that appears.
4. Close Certificates dialog.
Actual Results:  
The certificate is still there.

Expected Results:  
The certificate should be removed.

Another annoying thing is you can't select them all at once.

I found reference to this bug already mentioned here: #139059, comment 3 however many searches returned nothing.  I don't trust almost any of the authorities and would like to remove them.  I don't really care if there is no way via the gui, but a file should at least be deletable etc. but I could not find where they were stored on my system.

It would seem it's just the GUI that doesn't update.  If you remove them and then close and reopen, they will be deleted but they still show up.  Therefore this should be changed to minor.
