User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030728 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.5a) Gecko/20030908 Mozilla Firebird/0.6.1+

Fails in 9/8 build (I fudged above User Agent string 'cause I'd reverted to 0.6.1.)  It words in 0.6.1.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to site with certificate with unknown authority
2. accept certificate


Actual Results:  
browser hangs: throbber throbs endlessly, icon goes to hourglass, never comes back.

Expected Results:  
displayed the page.
can you point to a URL with such a certificate?

adding keyword: regression.
Keywords: regression
unfortunately, no.  The site in question is behind a corporate firewall (as was I when I was trying to access it.)

Moving to Browser -> Security: General
I don't think this is a bug with Firebird, I'm not sure if it belongs to the
Security component, but it seems the most logical place to me.

Please have a look at bug 198943 and bug 216875 to see if either of them is
describing the problem you have. I can't tell since I can't access the page you
are describing.
