The certificate contains subjectAltName (OID 2.5.29.17), but it looks like 
Mozilla doesn't recognize it. If I view my certificate, the extensions are 
listed, but subjectAltName appears as 2.5.29.17 and the content (my mail 
address) is printed as a hex-string.

So, what is Mozilla looking for?

PS: The company's certificate is imported as a authority and marked as 
trusted for issuing certificate (all types)
