Android 4.4 complains constantly if you import a root certificate, like from CAcert. AFAIK, there's no way to turn off the warnings without manually editing your system certs. Notifications are not only in your quick settings panel, but your notification bar too.
Editing the root certs isn't something I could have done without some linux knowledge (i.e., without you lot), so thanks for learning me so good !
In terminal emulator, on a rooted phone with busybox:
Or, see here for an annotated version.
Firefox is another matter. It's easier, and doesn't require root, but never quite trusts a cert you import (little exclamation triangle on every page, "you have added a security exception"). Just find the certs and open them in firefox. I wish you could make Firefox use the system certs, if anyone knows how then spill the beans please!
