Add reference to EV processing
This page is for [[CA:FAQ#What_are_CAs.3F | Certificate Authorities (CAs)]] who request to have a root certificate enabled for [https://www.cabforum.org/certificates.html Extended Validation (EV) treatment], and need to test that their CA hierarchy is ready for EV treatment.
Before requesting EV treatment, CAs should understand how [[CA/EV_Processing_for_CAs | Firefox processes EV certificates]] and determine if they should use the standard CA/Browser Forum EV OID (2.23.140.1.1) or a CA-specific OID. Unless the CA already has a CA-specific OID enabled in Firefox, Mozilla strongly recommends that CAs use the standard CA/Browser Forum EV OID.
To request that your root certificate be included in [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/NSS NSS] and [https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/tip/security/certverifier/ExtendedValidation.cpp enabled for EV treatment], see [[CA/Application_Process|Mozilla's application process]].
