Steps to reproduce:

When going to a website, firefox says:
Did Not Connect: Potential Security Issue

Firefox detected an issue and did not continue to www.petfinder.com. The website is either misconfigured or your computer clock is set to the wrong time.

It’s likely the website’s certificate is expired, which prevents Firefox from connecting securely.

but there is no way to override this if it is incorrect

You could check that yourself, before you report a ticket here.

There should be an option to bypass it. The website works in chrome without any warning.

Resolution: INVALID → ---

petfinder.com sets Strict-Transport-Security which says they've requested higher and stricter security than normal. [RFC 6797]

Errors when the site opts into strict transport security aren't supposed to be easily bypassable. Chrome makes you type thisisunsafe into the error window, if I remember correctly.
