Nope, you can't do anything about that.  The warning appears because 
Mozilla is using a certificate that was issued for "www.mozilla.org" and 
"mozilla.org", but the actual domain is "nightly.mozilla.org".  You 
always get a warning when that happens.

HTTP does not use encryption and certificates, so in that case you will 
never get anything like that.
