The python DOT org cert problem and a new Firefox

[Skaperen]

i got a new version of Firefox with my weekly upgrade today (which made it take several minutes, so i knew something big came in) and so i tried it on python DOT org (typing in just the plain domain name instead of a URL) and now it works, but the "www." was added automatically.  typing in a full URL without the "www." still fails.   the cert is still incorrect.  it would be nice if all browsers would try adding "www.", if without it fails, like this.

i install Opera, again, and tried it.  typing in just the domain name fails. adding "www." works.  typing in the plain domain name again (intended to get a screen capture) works.  Opera learned there is a working alternate by having seen it before.  but it can still be a problem for people typing in just the plain domain name.  at least the error message is better than what Firefox has.

i made two screen captures of Opera, the 2nd after clicking on the "help me understand" button.  there is no clear way to make an exception.
