Mozilla to also reject Chinese Internet body's certificates

Mozilla Corp, creator of the popular Firefox web browser, said on Thursday it would follow Google Inc and no longer recognize new certificates of trust issued by a Chinese Internet agency. Google's Chrome and Mozilla's Firefox are some of the world's most widely used browsers, and the moves could disrupt users accessing a broad range of Chinese web sites. As a result of Mozilla's step, users of Firefox may get a warning when attempting to visit sites certified after April 1 by the China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC), the body that administers China's Internet by allocating and certifying IP addresses and web domain names. CNNIC issued a statement on Thursday calling Google's move "unacceptable and unintelligible" and asked the web giant to consider its users' interests.
