Subject: Re: Recommend Removing RSA Security 1024 V3 root certificate authority

Email from RSA indicates that this "RSA Security 1024 V3" root is retired and should be removed from NSS.

FireFox --> Preferences --> Advanced --> View Certificates --> authorities --> locate certificate and delete it.
