Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert/issues/95

I wish there was a flag to specify which trust stores to install to, for example only to Firefox's. The current default is to install in system (requires sudo), Chrome (which I don't use), and Firefox trust stores.

I can see this being controlled with env vars, not to pollute the CLI.

Sure, however you think is best. As long as there's a way to operate on
user-only, unprivileged cert stores I am happy. :)

Works great, thanks!

$ TRUST_STORES=nss $(go env GOPATH)/bin/mkcert -install
Using the local CA at "/home/aorth/.local/share/mkcert" ✨
The local CA is now installed in the Firefox and/or Chrome/Chromium trust store (requires browser restart)! 🦊

$ TRUST_STORES=nss $(go env GOPATH)/bin/mkcert -uninstall
Using the local CA at "/home/aorth/.local/share/mkcert" ✨
The local CA is now uninstalled from the Firefox and/or Chrome/Chromium trust store(s)! 👋
