Description of problem: When attempting to browse a site which uses a certificate lacking a Subject and Issuer field, the user is prompted to add an exception to certificate checking. However, when trying to confirm the exception, nothing happens. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): firefox-3.0-0.beta5.6.el5 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Navigate to a site with an affected self-signed certificate. 2. "Secure Connection Failed" page is displayed. 3. Click "Add Exception" 4. Click "Get Certificate" 5. Click "Confirm Security Exception" Actual results: Nothing happens Expected results: Exception would be added to the list and the user would be able to browse the site. Additional info: Attached is a certificate that exhibits the problem. Also, I know this is kind of a silly bug. The problem is obviously with the certificate. But - if Firefox won't confirm the exception, it should at least tell you why it's being stubborn.

Do you have some URL to the website presenting this problem, please? Thank you very much.

I think this got fixed recently in upstream Firefox, the official Firefox 3 RC 1 binary would work. So, once we update our RPMs to a newer Firefox version, this bug should be fixed. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=406954
I've confirmed that the issue does not exist in 3RC1. Thanks! Michael.
I'm unable to reproduce with firefox-3.0-2.el5. Thanks!
