Comment:

 Well, the problem is similar to the one in #21887: on higher security
 levels there is no JavaScript whitelisted for `about:certerror` pages. It
 seems we need that now. See: `bug_22025`
 (https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/gk/tor-browser-
 bundle.git/commit/?h=bug_22025&id=59c8d12dad8ca01ddf8e21634448b0edb1c761f9)
 for a fix. qbi: If you look at the patch, you can fix that issue locally
 by adding `about:certerror` to the respective keys in your `about:config`.
