I'm not sure what the right newsgroup for this problem is. If I'm not at the right place here, please let me know.

Apparently, the the CA root certificates that are supplied with Firefox 3.6.3 are different from those that come with Thunderbird 3.0.4. The following CA certificate:

CN = VeriSign Class 3 Secure Server CA - G2

is not supplied with Thunderbird 3.0.4. I'm getting emails regularly with remote content from "https://service.lbb.de"; that causes "Secure connection failed" messages because the server certificate is signed by the above CA certificate.

If I navigate to the same website with Firefox 3.6.3, the SSL handshake is successful because the CA certificate is present.

What needs to be done to get this remedied?
