[Bug 235467] [NEW] its fucking useless to now allow invalid certs for localhost only

[ChrisA]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox-3.0

Try and go to a web page with a self signed cert.
Try to create an exception 
You never get to the website even with the exception because it loops back to the add exception page.

Security is a necessary piece of the internet.
Security is also supposed to be useable.
Security over exuberance will cost FF3 users.
Add the exception button back in and let users decide for themselves whether they want to go to a web site.  

My only real painless alternative is to go back to a previous version of FF, or install another browser..guess what, Since I have to
do the install anyway, I will try something else.
