[Bug 600779] [NEW] ipsCA Global and ipsCA Main root certificates not supported in Firefox

[Nick]

*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

Public security bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

ipsCA is a company that provides security certificates.  It, evidently,
provides the certificates to educational institutions for free.  Many
educational institutions in the US, including the one at which I am an
instructor, use the ipsCA certificates.  As of December 2009, Firefox is
no longer supporting the ipsCA certificates.  Here is the bug from the
Mozilla bug tracker:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=529286

Why is this a problem?  It is costing Ubuntu users.  I am no longer in a
position to recommend Ubuntu to students as the security warning screens
scare the students.

** Affects: firefox (Ubuntu)
