A representative of the CA would need to either re-open this bug and provide the requested information, or create a new bug before this request would even get into the queue for public discussion (which in itself takes a long time). https://wiki.mozilla.org/CA -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/600779 Title: ipsCA Global and ipsCA Main root certificates not supported in Firefox Status in The Mozilla Firefox Browser: Expired Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: firefox ipsCA is a company that provides security certificates. It, evidently, provides the certificates to educational institutions for free. Many educational institutions in the US, including the one at which I am an instructor, use the ipsCA certificates. As of December 2009, Firefox is no longer supporting the ipsCA certificates. Here is the bug from the Mozilla bug tracker: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=529286 Why is this a problem? It is costing Ubuntu users. I am no longer in a position to recommend Ubuntu to students as the security warning screens scare the students.
