Comment (by cshields):

 I ran into this one today trying out the B2 (Build 239).  Our online
 registration system for new wireless devices uses a self signed cert (ugh)
 and this came up where I was unable to accept the certificate.  I have
 since updated to build 299 and will try it again next time I am in the
 office..  Testing it here with the new build, it seems to accept with no
 question at all the link that ywwg provides now (as opposed to any popup
 at all about the cert).

 Also, tested against a self-signed cert site with an expired cert (usually
 throws 2 dialog boxes for acceptance in other browsers) and the Web
 activity accepts no questions asked.  This may or may not be the desired
 outcome, but as for the original bug reported it is no longer the case in
 299.

 Cheers!

 -Corey
