This is why users need to be in control of their own computers. Why can't I tell my copy of Firefox to ignore the certificate? Why can't I sign my own extensions?

Mistakes happen, it's okay. But users should be empowered to work around them.

Makes me think of this ticket no work around for the error other than closing the browser and editing a file or modifying the browser and recompiling. No options at all in the advance settings.

It's stuff like this that makes me unhappy with mozzilla. User's who know what they are doing should be permitted to do so. Warn them here be dragons or whatever, but it's ultimately their choice.
