Please remove the following root certificate from NSS. Issuer Field: CN = VeriSign Class 4 Public Primary Certification Authority - G3 OU = "(c) 1999 VeriSign, Inc. - For authorized use only" OU = VeriSign Trust Network O = "VeriSign, Inc." C = US SHA-1 Fingerprint: C8:EC:8C:87:92:69:CB:4B:AB:39:E9:8D:7E:57:67:F3:14:95:73:9D I received email from the representative of Symantec saying that this root certificate is not in use and there are no plans to use it, so it should be removed from the Mozilla root store.
