1187883 - Cannot choose to accept risk of https website

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1180526

(Firefox :: Security, defect)

Description

[Koen]

Attachment: ssh version on Callmanager

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; rv:38.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/38.0
Build ID: 20150605094246

Steps to reproduce:

I installed Firefox 39 (upgraded version 38)


Actual results:

I could not reach my internal telephony servers anymore.
These servers (Cisco CUCM) use an older version of https/ssh
which seems to be untrusted.

These servers are of course trusted, as i am using these for years now.
So I want to confim that I know the risk, but YES I do want to go to these websites.

But there seems to be no more way to do this. I do understand the need of Mozilla for security of Firefox, but this goes too far. Many people have internal websites which do not use the latest SSH/TLS etc etc, and know the risks. 
This is VERY inconvenient for users and will cost Firefox a part of its usebase which is, if I might say, is already dwindling. 




Expected results:

The possibility to go to these websites anyway should have existed.
In a new version a possibility to go to a website using older versions of ssh should be there.

I will close this bug due to lack of response. I will happily reopen this bug if the reporter is still running into this issue.

"Thank you for replying.

Yes, on firefox 42.0 this problem still exists.
Firefox produces a screen with mentions a weak Diffie-Hellmann key. And does not give the option to accept this risk, but only to try again, which is not an interesting option to display.
This a trusted server on an intern network, that is at the moment not upgradable. So I trust this server an accept the risk.
Firefox 38.0.6 still gives this option: to accept the risk.

If needed i can provide more info. (e.g. screenshots etc.)

It sounds the same.
