Not just mtnltrustline but MCA site does not work with firefox as well.

So basically you need to:
1) Buy Windows XP
2) Use IE 6+ (with ActiveX enabled)

It works with Adobe reader v 7 on Linux though. And certificate is in
standard format. So it should work with thunderbird. But wont be of
much use as MTNL is NOT world recognised CA.

MCA site is also insecure (uses http instead of https). Cookie is
just simple JSESSIONID. Once your friendly neighbour sniffs it he
gets access to your account.

And guess what, this site is developed by TCS, leading software
company of India. Totally not upto the mark or professional in my
opinion. They have made it fully OS and browser dependent and
unlikely that they would be interested in making it an independent
one.
