One thing I’ve noticed in HTTPS mode is that sites where I used to lazily type "foobar.com" (resolving to "www.foobar.com" over HTTPS) do not necessarily auto-direct anymore, instead displaying the scary message first. Whereas, typing "www.foobar.com" directly does not trigger the message.
I’m not sure where the auto-switch from "foobar.com" to "www.foobar.com" occurs; if it’s in the browser, ideally Firefox would attempt this auto-correct first and try the HTTPS connection to the corrected location, to minimize the chance of triggering a warning.
