Firefox 3 and SSL certificates
In Firefox 3, SSL certificate errors are displayed in the browser as error pages.
I really like this improved new error page, because the click path you have to follow requires that you read through all information once and hopefully remember the correct click path next time you encounter a SSL certificate with an unknown signature.
Unfortunately this new feature gets after a while really annoying. Luckily users may configure this feature using about:config. I suggest you change browser.ssl_override_behaviour to 2.
