Description:

In the pst when connecting to a ssl encrypted page that has an unkown
certificate, I got a "page load error" message that looks like this:

------------------------------------snip------------------------
Secure Connection Failed


blog.fefe.de uses an invalid security certificate.

The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is unknown.

(Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)
------------------------------------snip------------------------

The paga contains two buttons on the cottom that say "Get me out of here" for
not accessing the page any further and "Add Exception ..." to get the
certificate and continue connecting tho the page.

That worked fine until now, since some days I can click on "Add exception" and
simply nothing happens, usually there appears a popup which offers me to
donload the certificate and add it. This popup does not appear anymore.


Howto repeat:

Use firefox for some time and connect to a number of ssl enabled pages until
you won't be able to add the certificates anymore
