Oh, I was saying that I
always get the warning pages with the option to bypass. Never had
any problems.
Firefox was actually originally called Phoenix, then Firebird
before finally settling with Firefox.
gives
the backstory. Ah, the good old days of the browser wars...

I'm
sorry, I thought you were asking about Chrome, not Firefox.
I also don't recall it being called Firebird, I do recall Mozilla
being the predecessor to Firefox however.
However, there is a similar setting you will want to enable in
Firefox.
Goto Settings->Privacy & Security.
Near the bottom of the page is "HTTPS-Only Mode"
Select one of the bottom two options such as "Don't enable
HTTPS-Only Mode"
Also I see one other setting different from the default, in
about:config I have "Security.disable_button.openCertManager set
to false, so maybe that needs to be set in order to enable it to
accept the certificate temporarily.

Interesting. I've never had to do any of
that, but then I'm still using the same profile from when it was
still called Firebird (v. 0.6). And that was imported from
Netscape 4.8.
Now running Firefox 117.0.1 (Linux x86_64) archlinux-1.0

I have a suspicion on what might help. Try going to
settings->Privacy and Security.
First ensure that "Standard Protection" rather than "Enhanced
Protection" is selected.
(OPTIONAL) You might also want to uncheck "Help improve
security on the web for everyone" as if you read the fine
print, it's giving Google permission to monitor and track you
through the web.
Scroll down to the "Advanced" and turn off "Always use secure
connections".
I believe that might allow you onto the site.
