Mozilla dropping self signed certificate support.

Late in 2014, many people noticed Firefox, Seamonkey, and many other derived products no longer allowed users to easily access content using self signed SSL certificates. Often simply reverting to older product version (i.e. pre-FF 31) restores ability to access self signed SSL encrypted web and email services. This apparently is deliberate as Mozilla Foundation will soon launch a free Certificate Authority (CA) in 2015, Let's Encrypt.
