After the redirect to https://www.dmdc.osd.mil/appj/scra/scraHome.do I
get good certificates on OSX for Safari and Chrome (both probably using
the built-in OSX security validation), but Firefox screams about it.

Weird... Firefox must come with its own certs.  Firefox is definitely
*not* a "native app" on OSX, so no surprise that it's also broken on
OSX. :)
