Public bug reported:
To reproduce open an sftp link to a remote host or even localhost in
firefox. I had previous saved a key as a credentials with openssh-
askpass then when you open the linke right click on page info and then
show secuirty. It will say that the site connection is not encrpyted
when in fact it is tunneled over ssh.

Description: Ubuntu 15.04
Release: 15.04
I expected firefox to not think tunneling over ssh was sending text in
the clear. Instead it says it doesn't provide identity information and
that the connection is unencrpyted. Additional if you run sftp on
localhost it implies someone can mitm the loopback device.
