Hi,

it seems that Firefox 31 (caused by mozilla::pkix?) has introduced a
serious usability regression.

Firefox no longer allows to override bad certificate errors of routers
or other devices with a built in https web interface.

As reported in several bugs:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1063315
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1042889
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1063945 (by me)

it's impossible to connect to the web interface of routers, that use an
internal certificate which has become invalid.

I believe it's crucial that an override continues to be possible,
allowing administrators to use Firefox for their hardware
administration.

I'm particularly worried that this will cause lots of trouble when
enterprises migrate from Firefox 24 to Firefox 31 soon.

I think this should be fixed on the Firefox 31 branch.

Kai
