[8] Mozilla CA Certificate Policy — Mozilla ( 版) <https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/governance/policies/security-group/certs/policy/>

The certificates included by default have their "trust bits" set for various purposes, so that the software in question can use the CA certificates to verify certificates for SSL servers, S/MIME email users, and digitally-signed code objects without having to ask users for further permission or information.

[9] Mozilla CA Certificate Inclusion Policy — Mozilla ( 版) <https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/governance/policies/security-group/certs/policy/inclusion/>

We reserve the right to not include a particular CA certificate in our software products. This includes (but is not limited to) cases where we believe that including a CA certificate (or setting its "trust bits" in a particular way) would cause undue risks to users’ security
