When you browse to a site with a self signed certificate you get a window similar to that of Internet Explorer, but the buttons do not work. You have to export the cert, then import it to the browser to have the site load, too much stress for all the certs i create to test stuff.

That there is no simple button is by design.
But you can set an exception for many SSL errors but you failed to give us the exact error message that you get.

Which SSL error do you mean ?
