Let's encrypt, the free SSL CA has achieved a significant milestone. From their press release:
We're pleased to announce that we've received cross-signatures from IdenTrust, which means that our certificates are now trusted by all major browsers. This is a significant milestone since it means that visitors to websites using Let's Encrypt certificates can enjoy a secure browsing experience with no special configuration required. Both Let's Encrypt intermediate certificates, Let's Encrypt Authority X1 and Let's Encrypt Authority X2, received cross-signatures. Web servers will need to be configured to serve the appropriate cross-signature certificate as part of the trust chain. The Let's Encrypt client will handle this automatically.
You can see an example of a server using a Let's Encrypt certificate under a new cross-signed intermedate here.
Vital personal and business information is flowing over the Internet more frequently than ever, and it's time to encrypt all of it. That's why we created Let's Encrypt, and we're excited to be one big step closer to bringing secure connections to every corner of the Web.
This is hopefully a good step in the direction of an encrypted web!

What browser are you using? It looks fine for me on the latest Firefox, Chrome and Safari.

The last update was March 31st, 2015. hardly a long time ago.
Who actually counts updates? I don't even do that on my Gentoo box which I actually own and administer, unlike this one which I don't.

I don't count them either, I was just going by the version numbers, but they aren't always sequential.
But there have been a steady drumbeat of updates since March 31, and in browser years, that IS INDEED a long time ago.
Lets Encrypt is a new-ish project, first certificate july 25 2015.
No, you are mistaken. I've always had this sig.

He's on an ESR release. Not everyone uses unstable snapshots.

Firefox 31.6 ESR
1) Firefox 31.0 ESR was released July 22 2014. The ESRs are maintained for about one year. The 31 ESR life cycle has ended and isn't being updated anymore; and you should have been migrated to the 38 ESR by now.
2) Firefox 31.6 ESR isn't even up to date *within* the 31 ESR cycle. The last release of Firefox 31 was 31.8
The firefox 38 ESR was released a while ago (we're already on 38.3, and the ESR overlap with the 31 ESR series has ended.
Worse, the final release of 31 ESR was 31.8 (July 2, 2015); and you are on 31.6. (March 31, 2015)
So... you are running an out of date version of a discontinued ESR release.

For regular releases (not ESR) the current is 41.0.2, updated mere moments ago.

Correct (Konqueror 4.14.12 linux). Also works in Opera 32.0 linux. Does not work in Pale Moon 25.6.0 linux. Seamonkey won't even start today to find out.
