Description

[Lu Wei]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:39.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/39.0
Build ID: 20150630154324

Steps to reproduce:

Add newsgroup account to news.aioe.org and news.eternal-september.org using TLS


Actual results:

connection failed, with error like below, or expired, or other warnings:

Timestamp: 2015-8-7 9:19:55
Error: news.eternal-september.org:563 uses an invalid security certificate.

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

(Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)



Expected results:

Should have some options to exempt some sites, like Firefox does.

Options->advanced->certificates->view certificates->Add exception->Server location field do not accept address like
snews://news.eternal-september.org,
snews://news.eternal-september.org:563, 
news.eternal-september.org:563,
etc. It seems support HTTPS protocol only.
