522638 - Support for user notes on security exceptions

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Core :: Security: PSM, enhancement)

Description

[Matt McCutchen]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20090909 Fedora/3.5.3-1.fc11 Firefox/3.5.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20090909 Fedora/3.5.3-1.fc11 Firefox/3.5.3

Some of my security exceptions have been checked other ways, such as manually with "openssl verify" against an organizational CA (see bug 469263 comment 6).  I'd like to be able to attach a note to each security exception to remember what, if any, verification I performed.  The note would appear along with or in place of the text "You have added a security exception for this site" in the site-identity popup box and tooltip.

Reproducible: Always

This would be neat. However, as it's only applicable to a small population of users, it's probably best implemented as an add-on.
