And since people don't check the certificate anyway it would be better
if Firefox would silently switch to plain HTTP when it can't verify the

cryptography altogether without even telling the user about it? Would
that improve anything? Because that's the equivalent of what Anaconda
does.

It would be better if it just noted that it didn't trust the certificate chain and continued using https, since that would still provide protection from eaves dropping by passive attackers.
