Eddy Nigg reported that he had obtained an SSL server certificate for the domain www.mozilla.com. The certificate was said to appear valid in the
current Firefox browser, for a time. According to the screen shots provided,
the certificate said on its face that it was "Domain Control Validated".
However, since Eddy is not known to control the mozilla.com domain, such a
claim seems dubious.

I filed this bug so there would be a place for the investigation and any
subsequent actions (if any) to be recorded.
