@ericlaw Pretty sure you are wrong. It ignores the Subject if there is any dNSName or iPAddress in the subjectAltName. But wildcard is OK.

@BRIAN_____ This looks similar to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1088998 …, but that was for TelexStrings?

@BRIAN_____ @dveditz Should I file a bug for "Firefox36 stopped supporting wildcards in BMPString-encoded CNs" or should I not bother?
