Behaviour of Firefox for untrusted certificates

Blocking untrusted certificates is more important than usability.

If organizations want to actually protect the security of their (and your)
data they NEED to not be doing self-signing.
Doing it any other way is giving a false impression of protection and
authentication.
We want real security, not security theater.

Having said that I believe they have made it a bit better in the nightlies,
using a different picture with a security guard
checking documentation or something.
