I don't trust anything signed by VeriSign. I have a personal distaste for their
company and I don't install or trust anything signed by them, so I have this
habit of removing any CA on my machine by them. Ironcly I found a little
non-critical little nag bug on the edit window when changing your preferences
for your CAs. In some cases (unable to figure out a patern, but Firefox does not
display the CA correctly. Instead it displays '""' as the name of the CA.
Nothing big but its something.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Prefrences
2.Advanced
3.Manage Cirtificates
4.Forth tab
5.Click edit after select a VeriSign CA entree
6.Per at the blank.

Actual Results:  
Got a ""

Expected Results:  
Instead of a real name.

sorry for bugspam, long-overdue mass reassign of ancient QA contact bugs,
filter on "beltznerLovesGoats" to get rid of this mass change

This is basically the same bug as Bug 1186286 - the Common Name of the cert is used even when it is empty.

We could do something similar and/or use nsIX509Cert.displayName.
