As far as I know my country doesn't force me to download any certificate, and Firefox doesn't have a cert issued by my government.

I’m curious though what CA your country uses for governmental services. Historically a lot of EU countries used some less than stellar CAs.

My local government is using GlobalSign and the Tax Agency (and probably all of the central government) uses Entrust.
