Comment:

 > So on one end we are accepting broken SSL certificates WITHOUT EVEN
 PROMPTING OR WARNING THE USER and on the other end we are making it hard
 or almost impossible for users to access sites with "invalid SSL
 certificates"
 from [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=629558 Bug 629558],
 which is known since 2011, and everything was resolved as fixed...
