The real truble with Firefox UX regarding security is that a HTTPS connection with an untrusted certificate is more hassle than an unencrypted connection. But from a security concern, HTTPS with an untrusted certificate is better, it prevents passive eavesdropping at least. It&#x27;s certainly not <i>worse</i> than unencrypted traffic.<p>And yet firefox continues to make it hard to accept untrusted certificates.
