Updated patches attached.

browserconfig.html points to older config method for versions prior to 15.

The extension is theoretically compatible with FF3.6 and then FF10 and 
later. There is a problem for FF4-9 with loading strings from 
.properties file. FF3.6 is working because it doesn't use bootstraping.

I also notice that we have an existing issue when navigating to config 
pages right away before accepting any certificate. Those pages are using 
some resorces from /ui/ folder which is redirected to https. These 
resources are not loaded because certificate isn't imported. If user is 
going straight for Web UI, he won't encounter this issue, but someone might.
