[RFE] Error Console should show Certificate failure on JS/CSS files

At present if certificate of webpage is OK, but if there is a certificate failure on contents of the page like JS, CSS resources Firefox do no give a hint about this failure.

Recently I had an experience where My Computer time accidentally changed and I did not noticed it.
When I was surfing, http://mail.yahoo.com/ looked weird
see attached screenshots
* cert_fail.png
* cert_fail_2.png

The problem was https://login.yahoo.com/config/login_verify2?&.src=ym
has JS content from 
https://a248.e.akamai.net/sec.yimg.com/lib/common/utils/2/yahoo_2.0.0-b4.js
and my computer date was such that certificate at 
https://login.yahoo.com/ was valid but not the one at
https://a248.e.akamai.net/


steps:- 
(do this test before akamai.ne extend their certificate expiry date)
1. change computer date to next year
2. go to
   https://login.yahoo.com/config/login_verify2?&.src=ym

This is a special case of bug 304959.

They look like dupes to me... presumably any patch for bug 304959 would cover generic failures to load, regardless of the reason.

When I wear a tester's hat, as like Jesse mentioned I see this as special case of bug 304959, but not a dupe. A testing after bug 304959 fix can only make sure it is a dupe. So adding dependency on 304959.
