Title: Dozens of 'add security exception' dialogs Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Thunderbird greeted me this morning with at least 60 (I stopped counting) "Add Security Exception" dialogs. Each had to be cancelled/closed individually. To reproduce: 1) Configure an IMAP account that uses SSL. The account should be set up so that Thunderbird regularly checks for mail 2) Configure the SSL cert on the account such that the cert expires at some future date 3) Launch Thunderbird, leave it running. Thunderbird will download mail from the account configured in step 1 4) Wait until the cert expires Expected results: Thunderbird presents a dialog, "Add Security Exception", warning about the expired/invalid certificate. It presents this dialog once, leaving it onscreen until the user does something. Actual results: Thunderbird presents a dialog, "Add Security Exception", warning about the expired/invalid certificate. The dialog is left onscreen. Thunderbird continues to periodically check for mail. Each time it checks for mail on the account with the expired certificate, it queues up another dialog for display. This can result in dozens or hundreds of dialogs queued up, each of which has to be dismissed individually. I my case I didn't want to confirm the exception - I wanted to import a new, current certificate for the account in question. There is not an obvious way to do this within the "Add Security Exception" dialog. Therefore I had to cancel each dialog in succession.
