Comment 131 for bug 232340

Understood, but in the same spirit why should we trust the existing authorities that exist in mozilla/firefox in the first place?

Their commercial nature and methods of verificiation and authenticity aren't trustworthy as far as anyone here is conserned.

Did they pass a similar level of scrutiny? I don't believe so.

Or maybe we are forced to accept them because if we didn't then mozilla/firefox would be in a difficult position market-wise since most secure websites wouldn't work and thus make the browser seem incompatible to the user?
