I don't know how certificates are used in Firefox3. If they are embedded in the main program or they are retrieved from mozilla's website. Well, the thing is that who must do the next step, Mozilla or FMNT, but we need the CA. Why? Nukeador has posted a comment that is in the bug, but I need to add: The *only* railway company, which is public, has the certificate (www.renfe.es). The principal mail company has the certificate. All lawyers colleges have a FMNT certificate to sign and verify all bits are correct. Public administration has the certificate, in the new ID and for all kind of operations on the Internet. So, for Spanish users, we NEED the certificate. If a person sees a security alert on these sites, he/she AUTOMATICALLY leaves the page and open Internet Explorer that doesn't show that kind of warning.
