I must have accepted the certificate, because as I remark in the bug, I had
forceHTTPS cookie set for beta labs (so I would automatically redirect to
the https URL for pages when logged in).  It worked until maybe 2-3 weeks
ago, then I had to clear cookies to use beta labs.

https was very useful when testing login and create account forms. I don't
need it now. Firefox console warns "Password fields present in a form with
an insecure (http://) form action. This is a security risk that allows user
login credentials to be stolen." Which is true, and someone could steal the
Selenium_user password.
