User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/109.0

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Set your custom DoH server to a server with a self-signed certificate that has not been approved.
  2. Try to browse the Web

Actual results:

Can't connect

Expected results:

A message should alert the user that their custom DoH server has a self-signed certificate and allow them to approve it.

A workaround is to load the URL manually in a tab and accept the certificate.

We may be able to display a warning in the new settings page if a cert error occurs.

Of course, if you know why your Internet is broken. It took me quite a while to figure out.
