Firefox 3 and SSL certificates - Part II

As written yesterday, Firefox 3 displays all SSL certificate errors as error pages. In the openSUSE default config, you need at last four clicks to accept a certificate with an unknown signature.

By setting the following two values you can reduce this to two clicks:

Then Firefox 3 behaves like it’s predecessor and you are not bugged by every self signed certificate. By the way: you should import CAcert.orgs root certificate at least for identifying websites into the keyring of your browser.

Kudos to Robin for mentioning the second configuration option to save another click!
