1346842 - Certificate security exception dialog not working in view-source window

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 941354

(Firefox :: Security, defect)

Description

[premek.vysoky]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Win64; x64; rv:51.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/51.0
Build ID: 20170125094131

Steps to reproduce:

I tampered with hosts file to redirect some domains. Therefore a server b.com domain certificate wasn't valid, but I still want to access files there. This can be done using the "Confirm security exception" dialog.

1) Have a page at domain a.com
2) Page on a.com is referencing static files (CSS/JS) from b.com
3) Because b.com certificate is suspicious, it wouldn't load these static resources
4) I go to view source code and click on any CSS reference, such as b.com/css/main.css
5) This brings the certificate exception dialog before I can view this file.
6) Confirmation button in this dialog does not do anything.


Actual results:

Confirmation button in certificate security exception dialog does not do anything, when viewed inside view-source: window.
Clicking "Get certificate" and then clicking this button does not help.


Expected results:

The dialog should have been confirmed, security exception allowed and CSS contents displayed.
