[sugar] Preparing for the feature freeze

[Marco Pesenti Gritti]

There is a good chance that this is not be possible without patching
xulrunner, which would make me **really** nervous. What you are
describing is the old firefox UI, and I *think* they took out the
hooks to do that in xulrunner 1.9.

Michael, is the target for this feature only G1G1?

I think Peru run into this for web mail but I'm not convinced that
providing UI to bypass certificates is the right solution there. Kids
will be confused, especially if we provide a firefox 3.0 like UI
(which seem intentionally designed to make it difficult to accept a
custom/invalid certificate).
