Greetings,

Due to predatory business practices, I have resorted to launching a basic webhosting business to support my other businesses and provide cost effective online presence solutions to small businesses. In order to provide the best service, I'll need to become a certification authority. I am well aware of how to generate AES256 encrypted key pairs (4096), and I will have no trouble following the rules listed in section 2 here:

https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/governance/policies/security-group/certs/policy/#2-certificate-authorities

Who might I contact to further my goals? You will notice that my sites lack SSL encryption at the moment, because I would prefer to issue them myself. When I self-sign them currently, browsers do not honor my certificates. For some background, here is my linkedin:

Along with my professional resume:

Browsers can only trust a certificate if they can build certificate chain that ends with a built-in root certificate and you can't get this work with your own certificate. You can contact Mozilla via the certificates@mozilla.org email address that is listed in the article you referenced above. Getting a CA approved for inclusion in Firefox is a lengthy process that usually takes years.
