Certificate Patrol can give you something like this for Firefox.

+1 for Certificate Patrol; used to use it until it got too annoying for me. Same with RequestPolicy; another great extension that is unfortunately a lot of work if you surf a lot, esp these days, when everything is hosting assets on CDNs.

I used to use EFF's SSL Observatory until I realized it spits out lots of extra http requests. X509 is inherently flawed/complex and adding a browser plugin to make it better feels wrong.
