Tested with:

All the latest firefox versions, including the old certificate page design.

Tested on:

Windows 10
Ubuntu 18.04

Steps:

1. Launch the browser and go to https://wrong.host.badssl.com
2. Click Advanced and using the keyboard navigate through the new opened section.

Actual result:

The Error code: SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN link cannot be accessed using the keyboard only.

Expected result:

Error code: SSL_ERROR_BAD_CERT_DOMAIN link should be accessible using the keyboard.

Note:

This is also reproducible on the old design of the certificate page but its an accessibility issue. The user cannot access the error code link using the keyboard only.

Looks like it is an <a> tag with some CSS pointer changes to make it behave like an a[href]. This needs to be added to focus order with tab index, keyboard operable, and a proper aria role as well. Or the easy way would be adding a href attribute..
