The urlbar is still http://www.ephyra.info/, but throw the error page: "The owner of mu.lti.cs.cmu.edu has configured their website improperly."

TypeError: securityInfo is null browser.js:2833:13


Works for https://expired.badssl.com/, https://mu.lti.cs.cmu.edu/ and others.

Not reproducible on either
Firefox 73.0.1 - Windows 10
Firefox 75.0a1 (2020-03-07) - UbuntuMATE 19.10

I would assume that in the past 4 years this got fixed by a side effect of some other change.
We should now close this.

Change the status for beta to have the same as nightly and release.

Clear a needinfo that is pending on an inactive user.

Inactive users most likely will not respond; if the missing information is essential and cannot be collected another way, the bug maybe should be closed as INCOMPLETE.
