Unable to Connect to my Router (192.168.1.1)

I have a D-link 4G Router whose IP Address is 192.168.1.1 Its does not support https, only http.

I am unable to configure it using Firefox, I have to use Chrome. Firefox prevents me connecting to it because (a) It does not support https and, if I get round this issue (b) Firefox reports that the Router's security certificate is out of date

I can never get round (b), there are no options to override Security Certificate is out of date.

I can override the same issue if I use Chrome (but I would prefer to use Firefox)

It seems a bit over-authoritarian to me, to prevent me from logging into and configuring my own Router !!!! I believe Firefox should always provide a mechanism for the user to override these security issues.

Somebody else had, and fixed, this problem recently. See: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1458459#answer-1668446

I agree that we should be treated as adults and be allowed to do what we like on our own equipment. A warning is fair enough but we should be able to easily say "Thanks, now do as you're told."
