User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b5) Gecko/2008032620 Firefox/3.0b5

The "Reported Attack Site" page is missing a button like "**** Off Firefox I know what I'm doing!"  The other phishing or warning pages displayed have an option to add sites as an exception from that page.  This is an inconsistency within the  Firefox UI.

For the "Secure Connection Failed" internal page there is an "Add Exception" button, but for "Reported Attack Site" you have to go into preferences.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Go to a site that is reported badware, but is probably harmless such as http://nscocoa.com or http://eskatonia.net/qcblog.
2.  Oh look there's no easy button to get around some retarded policy like SPEWS for a site that is not badware like there is for other questionable sites in firefox.
3.  Use IE or Opera
Actual Results:  
There is no "Add Exception" button.

Expected Results:  
There should be a button.

Mac OS X and Windows tested.

I feel certain that you understand that the use of polemic and inflammatory language tends to have the opposite of its intended effect; that it tends to diminish the value of your argument, and also engender resistance in your readers.  I trust that you are generally outstandingly civil, but that circumstances far beyond the problem you describe here have precipitated in you such immense (and temporary!) frustration that this outburst is the understandable, but uncharacteristic result.

I'm sure, in short, that you are really trying to be helpful and constructive, but you're sort of coming across as a dick.

At time of writing, eskatonia.net/qcblog is distributing live trojans - if you have visited them in another browser, you may wish to take corrective action.

And incidentally, we've fixed your bug.
