Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 533744

(Thunderbird :: Security, defect)

Description

[Luigi Rosa]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.6) Gecko/2009020911 Ubuntu/8.10 (intrepid) Firefox/3.0.6
Build Identifier: 3.0b2

After the installation of 3.0b2 in a different folder, at first start-up appear a lot of dialog boxes "Secure Connection failed" (see attachment) if a previously configured IMAP account uses SSL with a self issued certificate.

User has to hit "Cancel" many times and at the end the expected "Add Security Exception" dialog box appears and is possible to select "Get Certificate" option to import the self-issued certificate.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Configure an IMAP user with SSL and a self isued certificate in TB 2.0
2.Update to 3.0b2
3.Start 3.0b2
Actual Results:  
A "Secure connection failed" dialog box appears many times and has to be dismissed with "Cancel" before "Add Security Exception" dialog box appears

Expected Results:  
The "Add Security Exception" dialog box should appear first

The repeating dialog is probably bug 431819.

The order of the dialogs seems to not be reported.

I don't think so, bug 431819 is about *client* certificates.
