AI Summary
This case was opened by a third party who reported that Firefox did not trust certificates issued by FNMT for Spanish government sites. The reporter asked Mozilla to recognize FNMT as an SSL certificate authority so sites such as https://www.nic.es/ would load without the untrusted issuer error. Mozilla staff replied that inclusion requests must come from representatives of the CA itself, and the bug was first resolved as incomplete. The bug was later reopened when an FNMT representative asked how to proceed with root inclusion. Mozilla then pointed FNMT to the root CA inclusion guidance and the bug was ultimately closed as a duplicate of bug 435736, which was said to contain the full information.
