Selenium Webdriver Continuing After Site from get() Prompts for Cert

Question

I'm writing a Java app in which I'm doing a simple driver.get(url) in which the url will prompt for a cert selection. I want to try and automate the cert selection process in Firefox 33 using the AutoIt jar, but I can't even get my Java program to continue after it executes this get, since the site is in an indefinite state of loading until a cert is selected, so the execution indefinitely stays on the get itself. Is there any way around this?

I found a similar question: Make Selenium Webdriver Stop Loading the page if the desired element is already loaded?

Ths solution given in the above link is to change the firefox settings in case the webpage is taking too long to load.

FirefoxBinary firefox = new FirefoxBinary(new File("/path/to/firefox.exe"));
FirefoxProfile customProfile = new FirefoxProfile();
customProfile.setPreference("network.http.connection-timeout", 10);
customProfile.setPreference("network.http.connection-retry-timeout", 10);
driver = new FirefoxDriver(firefox, customProfile);
