Your first question is how to package a customized Firefox build. I doubt that anyone here in the crypto newsgroup knows the answer to that. I suggest you ask that in the mozilla.dev.apps.firefox group. > 2. I have a self-signed CA for demo purpose, how can I include that in > the CA list by default. As I understand it (I am not a lawyer), because of the legal necessity of protecting trademarks, mozilla has a policy that if you change certain things about the product, you may not distribute it with the Firefox brand name and logos. The built-in list of root CAs is one of things that you may not change and still use the trademarks, as I understand it. I think this is the reason that one group markets their variant of FireFox under the name "IceApe".
