Details

It would be nice if the certificate manager of FF and TB has another column that contains the country field of the subject (and perhaps another one for the issuer, or both combined into one column).

Since Mozilla seems to include nowadays any certificate as long as the owner is running to pay the fees, regardless of whether these are inherently untrustworthy from totalitarian countries, and even when these CAs had been found to create forged certs and most probably used the for attacks,... it seems to make sense that users are given a way to easily see in which country (and thus most likely under which law/control) a CA is run.

And yes, I'm fully aware, that ownerships/etc. of CAs change, while the subjects country field will stay, but at least it's better than nothing.
