Is anyone seeing issues with adding sites with problematic SSL cert
(self generated etc) to the exceptions list? I get the error "If you
still wish to add an exception for this site, you can do so in your
advanced encryption settings." but if I go into prefs -> advanced ->
encryption I don't see the option to add exceptions. Or am i just
looking in the wrong location. Other than that its excellent!
