I guess that he root cause of your problems is again the one described in

  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=321156#c1

The OP didn't say from which CAs he got his code signing certs, but it
if the root has the code signing trust bit ("This certificate can
identify software makers") set, then it's simply again bug 321156 which
is biting him.

In the case of (recent) code signing certs from Verisign and/or Thawte,
the situation is further complicated by the fact that their new roots
are not enabled for code signing, currently:

  https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=602107

Verisign-Thawte-Geotrust-now-Symantec has created additional
intermediate certs, however, and these can be used to work around that
limitation (contact their support for assistance, if you bought one from
them).
