[Bug 632967] [NEW] Reload all affected tabs when untrusted connection accepted

[era]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: firefox

When Firefox crashes (which is regrettably all too frequently) and is
restarted into the saved session, all tabs which were open to a site
whose certificate is not permanently accepted will be displaying the
"Untrusted Connection" screen.

Once I have gone through the "I Understand The Risks" dance in one of
those tabs, all tabs affected by the acceptance of the certificate need
to be reloaded by hand (find each, and press ctrl-R).

I would like for all those tabs to reload automatically when the
certificate is accepted.

I have taken the habit to not check the "Permanently store this
exception" box as a reminder to myself to report problems with
certificates.  I acknowledge that this is fringe behavior; but I also
believe it would be moderately easy to implement the proposed fix.
