Please proceed with testing.

Important reminder:
At this phase, we change the NSS root CA list, which covers domain validation.

At this time, please test that your root has been correctly included and 
that trust flags are set correctly, and that connections to your test site work
with basic domain validation status.

If you have requested EV (extended validation), this is NOT yet enabled,
it will be done at a later time, in a separate bug.


The test build is available at
  http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/try-builds/[e-mail]-cdb68506e138/

Please download a binary for your preferred operating system.

(Only if the above link fails, you may use this backup location:
  https://kuix.de/mozilla/tryserver-roots-20130403/ )

Can a CA representative please verify the trust settings for correctness?

FYI: https://wiki.mozilla.org/CA:How_to_apply#Testing_Inclusion

(See also the initial comments in this bug.
 You should ensure that you're using a fresh profile,
 to make sure you really see the trust bits provided by this build,
 not trust settings that you had set manually in an application profile.
 To learn how to use a separate profile for testing, refer to

I have used the test build with a fresh profile, and confirm the changes listed above.

Thanks!
