This is a new security feature. The idea is to make users think and understand about what they are doing by replacing the useless click-through dialog by something that users actually has to read. If you look closely at the error page you are suggested to "add an exception ..."; if you follow that link you should be able to get the certificate and grand temporary/permanent exception for it. In next firefox update the page will change a bit so users don't confuse it with ordinary error page anymore. - Alexander -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
