Note that the CA root cert mentioned there is *not* the current one in Firefox, the Mozilla post has been updated to say:

Update: For clarification, the last sentence of this post references our actions to suspend inclusion of a TURKTRUST root certificate. There are currently two TURKTRUST root certificates included in Mozilla’s CA Certificate program. TURKTRUST had requested that a newer root certificate be included, and their request had been approved and was in Firefox 18 beta. However, due to the mis-issued intermediate certificates, we decided to suspend inclusion of their new root certificate for now.
The one currently in Firefox is the (c) 2005 certificate.
