Users shouldn't be forced to add an exception, in fact this behaviour shouldn't be encouraged at all, Firefox should instead promote an "allow once" action with a "Create Exception" being an 'Advanced Option'. Reproducible: Always

I appreciate trying to keep the user safe, but the current UI is not an accident. We believe that permanent exceptions by default are the safer approach - dramatically reduces dialog fatigue, doesn't represent a meaningful increase in risk of pwnage since those attacks will almost always be perpetrated on the first connection.
