Public bug reported:
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.
