Lambdor pr 124

[daveschaefer]

This is a copy of PR #124 , merged back into the main branch, and with some tweaks and changes.

@lambdor - Feel free to review or comment on my changes added here. Because of #143 I propose we do the following:

• hide the 'distrust all certificates' functionality for now
• release this as a new release
• fix #143
• re-enable 'distrust all certs' and send out another release again

Comments welcome.

So the 'distrust' functionality is not directly related to the badRecentCerts functionality, but with badRecentCerts removed it could cause a less-than-ideal user experience. With the badRecentCerts code branch disabled, any site using a certificate that is not blessed by the CA system will outright prevent Firefox from browsing there. So right now if we distrust all certs firefox won't browse anywhere :( and the current Perspectives code won't be able to override that. So I'm thinking we should fix the cert overrides first before exposing it. Thoughts?

I understand. Ok, disable for now.

Rest is approved.

Ran through the full manual test suite and made one other change. Merging!
