Probably, yes.  I've used that service in the past without issue.

Setting a password will protect all of the certificates stored by 
Firefox.  Select: Preferences -> Privacy and Security -> Security 
Devices (under Certificates) -> Software Security Device -> Change password

Chrome may have a similar option, but I don't see it and I don't see 
documentation for it.\

There's very little harm in getting a certificate and examining it to 
find out.  You can destroy it later with no ill effect.
