Nor does Chrome, and look what happened to both browsers...

...the keys to the castle are in the DNS registration process.  It is illogical 
not to add TLSA support.

I think that you'll need to define a number of levels of security, and decide 
how to distinguish them in the Firefox GUI:

- Unauthenticated/Unencrypted [http]
- Unauthenticated/Encrypted   [https ignoring untrusted cert warning]
- DNS based auth/Encrypted[TLSA certificate hash in DNS]
- Ditto with TLSA/DNSSEC 
- Trusted CA Authenticated[Any root CA]
- EV Trusted CA   [Special policy certificates]

Ironically, your problem is more a GUI thing.  All the security technology you 
need actually exists already...
