hp ilo and self-signed certs with firefox 3

A very annoying thing I've encountered is that on our intranet we use to access hp iLOs the iLOs use self signed certs. Using firefox 3 to access these iLOs causes firefox to freak out and initiate a 4 step process to bypass the "unsecure" certificate. I got sick of wasting time for this since we manage hundreds of servers. I found the following plugin the brings the 4 click process down to 1 click:
Obviously (or maybe not), don't use this for a browser that you are using to serf the internet with ... only use it on a browser that you are using to access a secure and private network.

If someone knows of a way to eliminate the "Secure Connection Failed" warning page altogether, please leave a comment and let me know!
