Not that it changes your point any, but if you set the pref
browser.ssl_override_behavior to 2 then you won't need to "get
Certificate". Firefox 3.1 will have this behavior by default.

If you set browser.xul.error_pages.expert_bad_cert to true then you
won't have to click a link to reveal the "add exception" button, saving
a click at that step, too. Firefox 3.1 won't be adopting that default
though.
