As described by the OP, the "add exception" button on the "Untrusted Connection" page does not work.

In my case when i press "Add exception", add security exception windows appears, but it says that the site provides valid certificate and there is no need to add it to exception. But i know that it is untrusted.
Windows 7 enterprise 32 bit
Firefox 4.0.1

I have the same issue with Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:8.0a2) Gecko/20110923 Firefox/8.0a2 and any other versions of Firefox both from Fedora packages as well as with the binaries from mozilla.org.

Prism isn't maintained anymore. Mass closing of the bugs.
