"I understand the risks" missing and no "Open frame in new tab" option

I'm trying to reach a page on the site of Holland's largest and completely trustworthy webstore thru my home wifi. I get an error page from Firefox telling me the connection is untrusted. I'd expect Firefox to give me the "I understand the risks"-option to bypass this error but sadly it doesn't (also not in the advance/technical details section). So I searched internet and it tells me (ao at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/961370) I should right-click the frame and choose "Open frame in new tab" from the context menu. Sadly tho, as this is on my phone, there's no such option present in the right-click-context menu :(

As the right-click procedure also seems like somewhat of a needlessly complicated workaround for the average (digitally illiterate) internet surfer. After all, Mozilla could just implement an unconditionally-always-present "I understand the risks" link in its surf-blocking error pages.

So my question first is: how do I now proceed to the page I wanna visit? And secondly: why doesn't the 'untrusted'-error page ALWAYS provide a risks-understanding link? Regardless whether it's in a(n) (i)frame or not??

Sorry for reposting this and sorry for posting this possibly in the wrong section of the forum (it's an Firefox on Android question), but this is due to apparent limitations of the Android Firefox app.

Hi kloassie

No problem, I hope we can help.

So that I can try to replicate the issue, what is the address of the site that you are trying to open?
