239946 - FEATURE: SSL security warning for loading an encrypted page should have site/cert-specific fine tuning

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core Graveyard :: Security: UI, enhancement)

Description

Whenever I visit an encrypted page I get the security warning that I am entering
an encrypted page.

There is only an option to disable this warning globally. I would like to be
able to disable it for a specific site (or rather, for a specific certificate
for that site).

The message box with the warning when visiting an encrypted page should be
redesigned to have a Details button.  When pressing this button, one should be
given an SSL configuration panel (same as in Edit | Preferences | Privacy and
Security?) that includes the option to change whether it warns or does not warn
for that specific site or certificate.  

The details button could also have certificate info as well.

Thanks for filing the bug.

Bug 799009 removed the existing global version of the warning prompt in question, so this bug is now "INVALID" in the sense that there's nothing to really fix.
