Details

When browsing to a site whose certificate is considered "untrusted" for some reason, the "Untrusted Connection" warning page is shown.

If I wish to view the problematic certificate, the only way to do so seems to be by clicking "Add exception", which is hidden under "I understand the risks". This option is presented with a paragraph explaining we shouldn't add exceptions unless we are sure, and that this could be a MITM attack, and so on. This text or the button label in no way suggest that this is also the way to get a button to view the certificate (without adding an exception).

Either show the certificate in the page information dialog, as is done for a non-untrusted connection (this way it will be consistent), or add an option to view the certificate in the "Untrusted connection" message.
