FIPS and Firefox

I am pretty sure this is a bug but posting here anyway.

I am trying to enable FIPS 140 mode (Firefox 3.6.3, x86_64) but it does not get enabled, the button does not even change, and the whole master password acts strangely.

I think this is because of a missing libsoftokn3.chk file in /usr/lib

Here is some googling

As I said this is probably a packaging bug but maybe someone knows how to fix this.

This is true both for Firefox from Arch repositories and for Firefox branded package from AUR.

The same thing happens for Thunderbird. Although the master password behaves a little better there.
