Probably because Mozilla subscribes to the ethos that a user should get the final say in what computation gets done on their computer, and not some third party.

Probably because Mozilla subscribes to the ethos that a user should get the final say in what computation gets done on their computer, and not some third party. I would be sad if they ever took the "continue" option away.
This is consistent with their position on drm in browsers.
- aaronmdjones 8y agoFirefox Nightly has the continue button regardless, but if the site has HSTS, it will tell you so, and will not allow you to add an exception; continue only shows the cause of the problem, in this case, that the certificate came from an untrusted source. This is in line with the "no user recourse" section of the HSTS RFC.
- some_account 8y agoUsers should get the final say always. This was normal behavior before windows 8. Now windows users are guests in their operating system, and the attitude can be seen in other software as well, not only from Microsoft. Firefox is an awesome browser and is the most pro choice browser on the market, with options for privacy plugins, search engines, cookie choices, tracking protection, etc.
