The difference between [PEM] and [DER] files, is that [PEM] files are base 64 encoded versions of the [DER] files and have a header and a footer.
As of mozilla 1.x, mozilla appears to support [DER] files, so perhaps skip putting a [PEM] file there, and just use the [DER] file which will work with IE and Mozilla. [PEM] is the nicer file format, so in general try and use [PEM].
