This is not necessarily a dupe of bug 576516 - we can't say that without determining the root cause of the problem in this case.

u545932: This is supposed to work. There is a checkbox in the exception-granting UI for "remember this exception". Are you checking that? Is the exception remembered for a time and then forgotten, or is it never remembered? You need to give us more details of what exactly is happening.

The URL field has a URL. Opening that shows:

The certificate is not trusted because it is self-signed.

under technical details.

So I think it really is a dupe of 576516. Am I missing something?

I didn't see the URL. But it's still supposed to be possible to add a permanent exception for a self-signed certificate. If I click that URL, I get:

"This Connection is Untrusted"
etc.

I then click "Add Exception" and a box pops up with, among other things, a "Permanently store this exception" checkbox which is checked by default.

My question to the reporter is: does the same thing happen to you? Do you see the checkbox? Do you check it? If so, what happens? How long is the exception stored for, if at all?

Huh, so it seems that I misunderstood bug 576516 in that it's a specific user having a problem with storing exceptions rather than a case of us not allowing (permanent) exceptions deliberately like we do for other things. Sorry!

Adding a permanent override for that site works for me. Without more information, we can't do anything meaningful here. Since the reporter's account appears to have been disabled, it seems unlikely we're going to get that information. Closing as INCOMPLETE for now.

I have the same problem with 48.0 on Xubuntu 14.04.4.  Selecting the Confirm Security Exception button appears to do nothing.

BTW, the web site in question is one of my own and has a self-signed certificate.  However, that should have nothing whatsoever to do with the issue, especially since that is the whole point in being able to add an exception.

Can you link to the site and/or provide the public portions of your cert? Have you checked if it works on a clean Firefox profile ( https://support.mozilla.org/kb/profile-manager-create-and-remove-firefox-profiles ) ?
