This would only be true if the StartCom root would be included in
Firefox 2, Windows, MacOS and Opera. At least in Windows its not
included; StartCom is apparently not part of Microsofts root
certificate program: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/931125

Or am I missing something, Eddy?

Sorry, but its a little bit unfair to point people to StartSSL when
they experience the Firefox SSL UI blues. They will get complaints
from all those other browser users after they happily installed the
free StartSSL certificate on their server. Its just bad advice, given
with some big Mozilla blinder. Even Firefox 2 users are left out.

Nothing against StartCom, but its prominent role in the Firefox SSL UI
discussion doesn't seem justified.
