Comment 30 for bug 1180297

Adding the design team: I was wondering if we could handle these errors in a more flexible way, by asking the user whether he wants to continue with the unsecure authentication or cancel (similarly to what browsers do).

Maybe before redirecting the user to an unsecure page we could show a simple page with some explanatory text ("You are about to access a web site through an unsecure connection; any information you will enter through these pages might be stolen by a malicious user") and a "Continue" button. A "Cancel" button might not be necessary since we already have it on top of the web frame.
