ERROR_SELF_SIGNED_CERT

I am an old Firefox user who has been using Chrome for quite some time and now decided to go back. And now I'm wondering where the hell is the “skip all stupid warnings” button when I go to a site I trust but which nevertheless has a self-signed certificate, because I know for a fact that there used to be such a button. Moreover, your guide offers me to click the “additional” button, where I supposedly can find this very cherished button. But it's not there! So, it would be okay, specifying this site in the exceptions in the settings - that doesn't help either. Why should I waste my time on this?

If a site requires HTTPS ("HTTP Strict Transport Security" or HSTS), Firefox doesn't allow exceptions.

Anyway, that site does not have a self-signed certificate. The message you're getting could indicate that an intermediary device or filtering software is intercepting the connection.

As a step in diagnosis, click the View Certificate link and see who issued the certificate. If it mentions your security software vendor, Firefox probably is not set up to trust your security software filter.

I'm not too well versed in the topic. But there doesn't seem to be anything like that in the certificate.

If needed and if it doesn't contain my private info, I could post it here for you to look at.
