Hello.

My internet is pretty unsafe and I decide to gain some security. I have a few questions:

1. How to disable "permanently store this exception" option for all invalid certificates? This can be archived by using private mode, but I want it in normal browsing.

2. How to force block any website that have certification issues, that is, making user cannot bypass the warn just by press "confirm security exception" button? I feel that option leave user too easy to get into a dangerous site. I don't even consider that a serious issue before, until I actually visit a hijacked site, and Firefox tries to protect me by that "inconspicuous" and easy-to-bypass warning.

3. It seems there's many problems with WoSign and StartCom CAs, so should I just distrust them in the Firefox setting?

Thanks.

Because the ISP/government is continuously hijack/poisoning the DNS and even GBP routes, I'll get more phishing sites than correct ones if not using VPN. Thank you and I already knew those in your suggestions, but I want to be more safe.
