Background

In Firefox 3, SSL certificate errors are displayed in the browser as error pages. Users may choose to override the errors, ignoring problems with the certificate’s validation, and the override options are displayed in the error page. This preference determines how easily the user may override the errors by specifying whether the browser pre-populates the exception URL and/or downloads the certificate.
