   [View Certificate] then [Close]

The exception core for Thunderbird is separate from the one for Mozilla / Firefox, so if you've already added an exception there you'll need to repeat it for Thunderbird. I needed to do this because I get legitimate emails from a site that come to me from the internal company domain using our external company SSL certificate. Having to click through 3 pop-ups each time I saw a bamboo build status message is a non-starter.

I wonder if there is a simpler perl interface to directly manipulate these configuration options? Perhaps using Mozilla::Prefs::Simple?
