I can't fetch the certificate in my account settings

Thunderbird Security

I have a problem with thunderbird. I can't fetch the certificate in my account settings, it seems it's not security approved. Normally when I type "fetch certificate" a window pops up asking me to confirm a security exception, but this function no longer works on thunderbird. Is there another way I can confirm the security exception?

Why would you want to do this in the first place?

There shouldn't be an exception prompt in the first place. So you'll have to fix the underlying problem instead of creating an exception.
