In Certificate Manager/Servers tab are a pair of "digi notar" entries. They both list active dates. What is the significance?

Googling Digi Notar brought up a lot of info from 2011 with cautions and "distrust" actions and various other bits. I'm curious why these are still in Firefox and "active". If someone has an explanation with background I'll take it as a learning opportunity.

Those Diginotar items aren't real certificates that can be used to trust websites, but are fake certificates that are present to make it impossible to override the blocking.
