Details

See bug 1441906. It would be useful to decode or at least display some more information about the certificates Firefox saw when the user arrives at a certificate error page.
Priority: -- → P3
The current design is actually worse than before. I miss the "View certificate" functionality when adding an exception. Now it's just a one-click action (after opening the "more" section) to bypass the error without reviewing the cert content. That's quite dangerous. Even the site information window does not show any information.

Hey, Can I work on this issue?

I think this bug is rather open-ended (indeed, we haven't even come up any kind of design for what this might look like), so this might not be a good Outreachy bug. Bug 1534724 might be good, though.

Severity: normal → S3
