Certificates can be obtained here: http://www.cacert.org/index.php?id=3

CaCert.org is secure(!) way to get certificate for some tls enabled service free of charge. So why it should not be supported by ArchLinux?

We use the Debian package as upstream and as such the cacert certificate is included. Could you describe your problem?

Oh sorry, i was bit confused about usage of all this certificates. I meant if there is possibility to get CaCert into the Firefox or other browsers packages. I didn't realized that those browsers are not using system libraries/certificates.

I wish there was a simple way to make firefox using that.
