IceWeasel is actually de-branded Firefox, so it has the same settings -- 
under Preferences -> Security -> Warning Messages, the last one in the 
list controls this. Personally I disable all except the 'low-grade 
encryption' one, otherwise browsing in general is painful with lots of 
sites giving warnings.

I know this is more of a workaround, however in the case of Atlas the 
'clean' solution would involve serving all the content from just one 
virtual-host for SSL, and that is simply not attainable with the current 
architecture of the website(s).

On a related note, I tested now and the login page does not 
automatically redirect to https:// if accessed by http://, and I think 
it should. That's for the security of anyone using the service...
