Dear Sir,

I am a staff from a Certification Authority that is situated in Asia Region. As our CA is new, we would like to know the steps and procedures to import our Root CA certificates into the Firefox browser.

I think this is a legal issue that I'm not able to cover well.

As I see, these are the certificates trusted by Firefox: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/certs/included/

The best thing you may do is contact the Firefox staff and ask them for help.

Remember you need to certificate that your CA meets all the standards and specifications and certifies only trusted non-malware websites.

The above information is very useful for me. In fact, the problem is the SSL certificate which is sold from our CA is untrust because of our RootCa which is not included in firefox trust store. What i want to know is "Is that possible that our CA is cross with Other RootCA that is included in Firefox trust store. "

if it is possible, could you please share me knowledge?

With Regards

If your root certificate chains to a recognized build-in root certificate then you need to send it as part of the certificate chain.
If it is self signed then it only works if users would install the root certificate.
