StartCom, owned by WoSign, has issues with firefox.
More precisely:
Due to certificate mismanagement and lying by the (soon to be
replaced) CEO of WoSign and StartCom, both Mozilla (Firefox,
Thunderbird etc.) and Apple have decided to distrust WoSign
and StartCom, with some temporary exceptions for old
certificates. There many threads on
news://news.mozilla.org/mozilla.dev.security.policyabout this,
going at least back to a post on 2016-06-30 .
They are basically dead for now.
Let's Encrypt is new and has become very popular. I don't know the process
because I have never used them. They will likely suffer more "unable to get
local issuer certificate" problems than StartCom, especially on older mobile
devices.
Should not be an issue, since LE has a cross-signed CA cert with someone that
is in the trust stores.
More problematic is the need to run automated tools to get fresh LE
certificates every 2 to 3 months. This is easy for some situations,
not easy for others.
