Maybe a good first step would be to make self-signed SSL certificates appear less scary than unencypted HTTP in firefox. While SSL with self-signed certs don't make MITM attacks much harder, they do prevent passive evesdropping. Yet the firefox UI seems to imply the contrary, by making it harder to use https-sites with self signed certs than unencrypted sites.
