Today I discovered that Firefox 3 will refuse to display a site over HTTPS if its SSL certificate is revoked. And even though I am not questioning merits of this decision, I still would have preferred to have this behavior configurable, either somewhere deep in Preferences or at least via about:config (quick scan of the latter did not result in anything useful - did I overlook it?)

Same deal here, check out https://escrm.nokia.com/ for an example.
I like the other warning, where if its untrusted you can add the exception, but completely stopping you?
Anyone?

@dave - looks like Nokia fixed that site already.
