"problems that absolutely need solving _before_ a forced global deployment of TLS can happen"
I'm all for this switch to SSL. But there's no way Mozilla's announcement will effect global deployment of TLS... not with 11.7% market share (NetMarketShare.com, https://www.netmarketshare.com/browser-market-share.aspx?qpr...).
The realist in me says this will just frustrate developers as staunch advocates of Firefox pester for working services while higher-ups refuse to justify the cost to suit a possible minority userbase. These users being forced to either switch browser or move service provider.
