can't accept ssl certificate which isn't authenticated/

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.type https://www.css.pl/
2.accept certificate
3.you can't (firefox knows better :) )



Expected Results:  
accept certificate, and show me that page
It will also be desirable a button that allows to allways accept the certificate
as valid (also until it authentication failed).
I'm seeing firefox actually block on internal sites we have with certificates
that don't match the host and aren't authenticated.

I know, bad form, but its the way things work..
this really needs to be fixed..... i cannot access any of our devservers since
they have "broken" certificate and trying to access them causes firefox to freeze.

My trouble is with build:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040615 Firefox/0.9
The listed page (https:www.css.pl) works for me under Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux
i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040207 Firefox/0.8 but hangs under 0.9. Oh and
should this bug have a severity of "Critical" as it causes the browser to hang?
confirmed on linux, works on w2k (logging onto https://internal-webmin-url-here
here seems to work ok on firefox0.9/w2k, but indeed causes a total freeze on
firefox0.9/linux)?
Yes, true, this happens with Linux every time. Had to revert back to 0.8.. :)

moreover; trying to open 'manage certificates' from preferences window -
advanced does not work. when closing preferences window, the browser freezes
completely.

folks, for me at least this is a show-stoppper.  It would bad form for a new
user like me to go change the sev to "blocker" but could someone with more karma
look over the following as well as another detailed post about this on
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?p=589713#589713 , and upgrade this
bug to "blocker"?

Thanks,
Perusing bugzilla led me to a workaround that solves this problem: Install the
firefox help module
(http://www.mozilla.org/projects/help-viewer/installation.php#firefox)
