1466051 - Websites with certificate warning can have broken links once temporary authorization expire

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 660749

(Core :: Security: PSM, defect)

Description

[Clément Lefèvre]

For example on internal Wi-Fi Access Points, to manage them it's using a Web interface with self-signed certificate.

The day before I accepted it, but unchecked the checkbox telling to never ask again and consider it's OK.

This morning, when arriving, links on the webpage were broken (JavaScript links), and I had to manually trigger a Website refresh to get a new certificate warning (no browser restart in-between, so why did the expiration expired in the first place?).

Certificate authorization probably shouldn't have expired.
And browser would ideally inform user about the certificate issue again otherwise, without having him to guess he have to refresh.

This issue seems a bit hard to reproduce and I'm not that familiar with certificate management, I'm just going to initially triage this to Security:PSM in order to have this bug move forward.
