How long will it take for the CA to be distributed to a large enough browser base?

I mean, it could be years. Is there any other, speedier process? (cross-signing, for instance).

8 to 12+ months for it to be in a release version of Firefox. https://wiki.mozilla.org/CA:How_to_apply#Timeline and https://wiki.mozilla.org/CA document the process in great detail.

Does that go for new root certificates as well?
