I know that Mozilla claimed that has removed DigiNotar Certificates from its trusted certificates and suggested a manual way to remove them. However these certificates seem to be still ther and cannot be deleted although I have the latest update of Firefox 8.0a2 installed. Here is their name in my Firefox >DigiNator

    DigiNotar Root CA
    DigiNotar Services 1024 CA
    DigiNotar Cyber CA

>DigiNotar B.V.

    DigiNotar PKIoverheid CA Overheid en ...
    DigiNotar PKIoverheid CA Organisatie ...

How can I know if they are disabled if they cannot be removed because of being built-in?

Chosen solution

You can click the Edit button on these certificates to verify that all trust bits are unchecked.
That will make it impossible for them to be used as root certificates.
