Why not the whole stuff?
As a distributor you are in a unique position.
As we all know, (almost) all CAs are evil, you can´t trust them.
You could install a self signed/made certificate and distribute it via
Firefox update and ship it with the distribution!
This way you save money and don´t depend on malicious CAs :-) You´d have
a rock safe certificate.
No bad CA being the man in the middle.

best regards
