Thank you for your bug report, is there a public server which triggers
the dialog which could be used for testing? Could you try to start
thunderbird --jsconsole and see if any error is printed when trying to
validate the exception?

Title:
  [snap] Cannot confirm security exception for invalid certificate

Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Note: This bug is specific to the Snap version of Thunderbird, I can't
  reproduce it with the Ubuntu-packaged version for example (which I
  have installed on Ubuntu, used for multiple years and stopped using
  recently to get the more recent versions of TB available with Snap).

  When a certificate problem arrises with a server from which
  Thunderbird tries to retrieve emails, the "Add Security Exception"
  window gives you the option to "Confirm Security Exception" (meaning
  that Thunderbird will overlook the invalid certificate).

  The problem is that nothing happens when I click the "Confirm Security
  Exception" button. I've tried the usual workarounds, including
  removing the email account and adding it again, to no avail.

  The peculiar thing here is that I have had certificate problems
  before, when using a non-snap version of Thunderbird, and clicking the
  "Confirm Security Exception" button has always worked. Not with the
  Snap version it seems.
