You have been subscribed to a public bug: Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
When you access a secure webpage whose certificate has been signed by an unknown authority, you are redirected to a warning message and taken out of the website. This can be a problem when there are only some parts of the webpage that are secured, like iframes. In such cases, the alert about using an untrusted certificate can be bigger than the iframe itself and so the user can't click the link to add an exception and continue browsing the website. For example, to reproduce this: 1. Go to http://www.renfe.es/ 2. In the left-hand column, in the "Compra de billetes" box, select one random element from the first roll menu. 3. See how the box becomes "secure" and a cropped security alert is shown in which the bottom link to add an exception can't be accessed. I will attach an screenshot of the problem.
