I agree with that wholeheartedly and I lobbied for this to happen more 
than a year ago. However I was in the minority and such an improvement 
was in the end rejected. But I must say that certain aspect of the UI 
did improve in that respect (in FF3) and it's much easier to gain basic 
information, albeit Mozilla decides when to display this information and 
when not.

Too bad that one has to find the subject line in order to know more 
about a certificate (and how it's validated etc). But it got better and 
not worse at least...
