I read already ALL other posts concerning this security "feature". I read there all answers which are actually not answering peoples questions about this, but rather to point out how to add sites to Security exceptions, or pointing out that these website have a problem or are dangerous.

So I ask again in a very easy simple way: is there any possibility how I either can permanently disable this security feature which tell you "This Connection is Untrusted" through e.g. changing anything in about:config . Or, is there any way that this can be done easier, e.g. take IE or Chrome as an example. There you can pass this with max two mouse clicks.

I do think it is good that Firefox warns about a http https mix issue. But it needs to be more user friendly, which means, less mouse clicks.

Please do not send these standard answers you already gave to other users asking that. Just say yes or no if there is a better easier way to pass through to websites with http https mixture issues.

Thanks.

(PS: I am faithful follower and user of Firefox, even in their unstable times, but I have to say I do not like at all the new main menu on the top to the right, which is apparently adjusted for touch using)

You will always have to check out why you are getting this untrusted error message. It is never a good idea to make a permanent exception in case you get the untrusted error message.

In some cases the cause is that web servers aren't sending a complete certificate chain that ends with a built-in root certificate. If web servers keep their certificates up to date and make sure that all intermediate certificates are installed and no certificates have expired then you shouldn't see these messages. In some cases Firefox may not have the root certificate installed and you could use other ways to install missing certificates by searching the web or export the certificate(s) in other browsers that work.

Can you post a link to website(s) that give such errors?

Thank you for your answer.

Though I am (also) an IT Professional, so I do understand the problem why it appears. I can only speak for myself: we have a bunch of we based services we offer in our company. I do understand that the problem are not the websites, but it is me and my IT department that we did not implement our certificate in all web servers in a right. (yes, we will do this, it is in our pipeline...). However, I just see that it is easier with IE and Chrome to pass this security breach, what it isn't, as it is only our internal web services, some of them at least.

However, so for me when i am testing applications it would be easier that it would be more user friendly with Firefox, like with Chrome and IE.

So I guess the answer is NO then, that at the moment there is no other way to pass this security question.

So, my feedback to Mozilla: even if the problem is somewhere else, please make it more user friendly on your side => less mouse clicks, and messages what a normal user also understands, like in Chrome....

Thanks.
