Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
Firefox needs to ship with CA-13 and other DOD SSL certificates installed. These are widely used on army/DOD websites which often use SSL even when it is entirely unnecessary.
It is problematic for the user to even install them manually, as they are not provided separately but as a windows executable:

Here are some websites that will trigger the bug; they are also specifically related to finding the missing certificates.

There is a lot of public domain info on military sites.
Note: importing the four files on this page appears to include CA-13 and others but not all 73 certificates included in the executable file above.
