You wrote "is trusted", but do you really mean trusted?  or do you mean
merely "is imported"?

FireFox believes the chain starts with the EE cert, and includes any certs
up to (and including) the first trusted cert in the chain.  So If S2 really
is trusted, then (as far as FireFox is concerned, the chain only includes
s2 and the EE cert.

See http://wp.netscape.com/eng/security/comm4-cert-download.html#chains
for the list of supported MIME content types for downloading certs.
Also, notice what that page says about the ORDER of the certs in the
chain.
