For an existing security certificate, Thunderbird repeatedly asks for a permanent exception.

Starting yesterday, Thunderbird has started to repeatedly ask for an exception for a security certificate from an e-mail account I have had for over a year. Each time I click the Confirm Security Exception and the permanently store this exception field is checked.
I checked with the owner of the service and no changes have been made to their certificate.
I suspect that this is a bug in the current version, 31.5.0 I believe that this update was installed the day before this started happening.
Please fix asap.
Thanks

I have done this about 40 times now... Thunderbird accepts the exception once. Retrieves the e-mail. Next time it checks it says the certificate is missing a name and asks if I want to make an exception.
This started 3 days ago just after updating to the current version of Thunderbird.
I have been using this account/mail server for over a year. Probably had to put the exception in on the first connection. Haven't needed it since.
So the question is why isn't Thunderbird retaining the permanent exception for this server? I suspect a new bug. Please report and fix ASAP.

Since I uninstalled avast! antivirus and installed Bitdefender Internet Security 2015 Thunderbird asks whether to accept an invalid certificate.

Since I uninstalled avast! antivirus and installed Bitdefender Internet Security 2015 Thunderbird asks whether to accept an invalid certificate when trying to receive new messages.
Please have a look at the two attachments (there seems to be a problem with uploading jpg files).
Obviously Bitdefender manipulates the certificate (probably to be able to scan the mails via SSL connection). But I'm not sure.
Would you recommend to confirm an exception for this certificate (permanently)?
Thanks in advance.
Greetings
Marco

Thank you, christ1.
I found out that after disabling SSL Scanning in Bitdefender, this issue no longer exists.
Maybe this can be considered as confirmation that this certificate really belongs to Bitdefender. Because that's actually what I'm concerned about, i.e. how to validate this certificate to make sure that Bitdefender is the issuer.

Repeatedly asking for apple password when adding security questions

when trying to download apps on ipod touch it asks me to choose 3 security questions (which i did 2 days ago when i first set it up )but when continuing to try and answer questions its repeatedly asks for apple password which i am entering correctly and doesnt seem to get any further and therefore i cant download apps.
Can anyone help?

I encountered this on my son's iPod Touch. I tried an 'Update All', but since he has one or two apps from his sister's Apple ID and she wasn't here to enter her password (which stopped the whole process!) I wanted to just update the other apps (purchased on my Apple ID). However, since there wasn't an option to skip an app, it seemed the only way to update the others (around 50 apps) was to click on all the update buttons individually. That would have been annoying enough, but fancy being asked to type in my password for every… single… app!
Absolute madness. Does Apple not think through these things anymore? They used to pay such careful attention to little details of the user experience. Very frustrating.

I've paid for and activated the cloud software I need, yet I am repeated asked to "Activate or start my trail software"

I've paid for and activate adobe cloud services. Yet I am repeatedly asked to activate or start my trail software.
This is getting extremely annoying, especially in combination with having to repeatedly sign in for software updates.
I don't want to have to sign into my account everytime I need to use photoshop, illustrator, on indesign!
I also feel like I should not have to sign in for software updates. I only work on one computer.
I want my software updates to take care of themselves, beside security pop ups asking me to grant Adobe software permission to make changes on my computer.
I most especially don't want to be asked every time I use the software if i want to "activate" or start a trial of the software! Besides the annoying time suck, it makes me feel like I am not a valued customer, if every time I use my software it can't remember if I paid for it or previously activated it.

Invalid security certificate for my website host-they say the problem is Apple Safari and use Firefox instead

For the past few days, I keep getting an invalid security certificate in Safari whenever I select Edit My Site from my website homepage (http://annaporterartist.com), or whenever I select anything requiring a secure log in from my website host main page (FASO.com). I have contacted technical support at my website host (fineartstudioonline.com) and they say that this has been an intermittently recurring problem in Safari for years and they recommend that I use Firefox instead. As proof of this they emailed a link to an Apple Support discussion, but it was for Mac OS X Lion v 10.7.4 and Safari 5.1, even though I told them I am using Mac OS X Mountain Lion v 10.8.2 and Safari 6.0.2. I do not get this error message anywhere else on the web using Safari. I did try Firefox and it seems to work fine, but I prefer Safari and I want to know why Safari is not working as it should be. I am concerned that there is a real security problem with my website host and I need someone to explain why I am getting this error message, what it means, and if it is, in fact, a known problem with Safari or is my website host corrupted? Really tired of technical support playing pass the buck or pretending the problem does not exist.
The specific error message is:
Their response to my inquiry and my reply is shown below:

Back up all data.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
From the menu bar, select
Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ Certificates
There are three menus in the window. What is selected in each of them?

Firefox (21.0) won't accept the security certificate for Twitter & won't let me add an exception.

My mother was having problems with her computer on the Internet and had to reset the modem. Problem was, I was on the Internet at the time using Twitter. She reset the modem, I thought everything was okay, but now Firefox isn't letting me access Twitter at all because of the security certificate. Here's the error message:
This Connection is Untrusted
You have asked Firefox to connect
securely to twitter.com, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.
Normally, when you try to connect securely,
sites will present trusted identification to prove that you are
going to the right place. However, this site's identity can't be verified.
What Should I Do?
If you usually connect to
this site without problems, this error could mean that someone is
trying to impersonate the site, and you shouldn't continue.
twitter.com uses an invalid security certificate.
The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is not trusted.
The certificate is only valid for gateway.2wire.net
(Error code: sec_error_untrusted_issuer)
gatway.2wire.net is the default error page for my modem, if the Internet is not working at all. I think the problem here is that now Firefox thinks the legitimate site for Twitter is the error page and not, well, Twitter.com. Also, I'm not getting any "add exception" option. How do I fix this?

Clear the cache and the cookies from websites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

What is the fix for some applications repeatedly asking permission to accept incoming connections?

What is the fix for some applications repeatedly asking permission to accept incoming connections?
On every restart, AutoPairs and Epson Event Manager asks me to reject or agree to allow incoming connections. It is very aggravating and time-wasting. I know other Mac users who have the identical problem with other applications on their Macs.
Isn't there some way to make my Mac understand that "Yes" means "Yes" once and for all?
I am presently running Yosemite, but this was a problem with prior OS X versions too.
Respectfully,

This is a comment on why you might, or might not, want to use the built-in Application Firewall.
The firewall blocks incoming network traffic, regardless of origin, on a per-application basis. By default it's off, and when turned on, it allows applications digitally signed by Apple, and only those applications, to listen on the network. It does not block outgoing traffic, nor can it distinguish between different sources of incoming traffic, nor does it filter traffic by content.
No matter how it's configured, the firewall is not, as some imagine, a malware filter. If that's what you expect it to do, forget it. All it will do is bombard you with pointless alerts.
Consider some scenarios in which you may expect the firewall to be useful.
1. You enable file sharing, and you allow guest access to certain folders. That means you want people on your local network, but not outsiders, to be able to access those shared folders without having to enter a password. In the default configuration, the firewall will allow that to happen. The router prevents outsiders from accessing the shares, whether the application firewall is on or off. But if your computer is portable and you connect it to an untrusted network such as a public hotspot, the firewall will still allow access to anyone, which is not what you want. It does not protect you in this scenario.
2. You unknowingly install a trojan that steals your data and uploads it to a remote server. The firewall, no matter how it's configured, will not block that outgoing traffic. It does nothing to protect you from that threat.
3. A more likely scenario: The web browser or the router is compromised by an attacker. The attack redirects all web traffic to a bogus server. The firewall does not protect you from this threat.
4. You're running a public web server. Your router forwards TCP connection requests on port 80 to your Mac, and the connections are accepted by the built-in web server, which is codesigned by Apple. The application firewall, still configured as above, allows this to happen. An attacker hacks into the system and tries to hijack port 80 and replace the built-in web server with one that he controls. The good news here is that the firewall does protect you; it blocks incoming connections to the malicious server and alerts you. But the bad news is that you've been rooted. The attacker who can do all this can just as easily turn off the firewall, in which case it doesn't protect you after all.
5. You're running a Minecraft server on the local network. It listens on a high-numbered port. You, as administrator, have reconfigured the firewall to pass this traffic. An attacker is able to log in to a standard account on the server. He figures out how to crash Minecraft, or he just waits for you to quit it, and then he binds his own, malicious, Minecraft server to the same port. The firewall blocks his server, and because he's not an administrator, he can't do anything about it. In this scenario, the security is genuine.
6. Here is a more realistic scenario in which you might have reason to enable the firewall. Your MacBook has sharing services enabled. You want those services to be available to others on a home or office network. When you're on those networks, the firewall should be off. When you move to an untrusted network, you can either turn off all the services, or enable the firewall with a non-default configuration to block them. Blocking is easier: one click instead of several.

Mail repeatedly asks to verify certificate

Hi
Using Mail 3.6 on 10.5.8
When I send from my .me account I am repeatedly ask to verify the recipient, with an oval connect button.
Can I stop mail from asking me this every time?
AS

To Clarify,
"Mail can't verify the identitiy of "smtp.mail.me.com".
The certificate for this serve was signed by an unknown certifying authority. You might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be "smtp.mail.me.com" which could put your confidential information at risk. Would you like to connect to the server anyway?
I get three balloons to chose from, show certificate, cancel, and connect.

Loading a security certificate for OWA mail using Palmcertificates

Hello,
Need to load a security certificate from my employer to utilize my outlook mail. After using "PalmCertificates" the program looks for the Palmquickinstall. Since I have the desktop with the install tool, the certificate program does not recognize this and gives me an error "Can't find Quickinstall"... How can we install security certificates onto a Centro (sprint network)...
I appreciate the help in advance. Thanks.

Thunderbird keeps asking for ALL my passwords EVERYTIME and they are saved in Thunderbird

As the question reads: Thunderbird keeps asking me for ALL my passwords everytime I open Thunderbird and sometimes inbetween.
All my passwords are entered correctly as per my mail servers and all the passwords are saved. I asked Thunderbird to remember them all and Thunderbird has a list of passwords recorded in the Tools >>Options >>Security >>Passwords >>Save Passwords. There are no mistakes there.
Because Thunderbird kept asking for the passwords, I entered a Master Password. This did not solve my problem. Instead, now I have one more password to enter. I eventually removed the Master Password again as it really serves no purpose.
If this would help at all: The laptop is an HP655 running on Windows 8 and using Thunderbird 24.6.0.
My other laptop is an Acer E1-531 also running on Windows 8 and Thunderbird 24.6.0 - I have no problems here with passwords being asked all the time.
Maybe it is the HP655?
Can you please assist me? This is very frustrating and your help will be much appreciated.

''I eventually removed the Master Password again as it really serves no purpose.''
Read this article to understand what the master password is all about.
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Master_password
Try to delete the passwords Thunderbird has remembered. Make sure to check the option to remember it the next time you're prompted for the password.
Do one at a time, so you can keep track if this has any effect.

Thunderbird keeps asking me for my AOL password.

I am running Thunderbird 31.4.0
Yesterday, Thunderbird started asking me for my AOL password every 15 minutes or so. I know that the password is good because I can login into www.aol.com with the user name and password.
I have already tried : Go to TOOLS > OPTIONS >SECURITY > PASSWORDS tab> SAVED PASSWORDS button and there you can delete old passwords. The next time you "Get Mail" Thunderbird will ask for the password and you can check the box to remember the value." and that did not work.

Try:

Installing secure certificates (from I.E.) for Mai...

I got a new N73 a week ago and have since then tried to install the secure certificate issued by my MS Outlook server (outlook web access) to access exchange so that I can work Nokia's Mail for Exchange.
Now - this certificate is valid since on my previous phone (not symbian based - it installed and worked fine.)
I have followed several resources online and none work. I have exported .cer files and .der files.
To get the certificate files to the phone is not the issue. It's once they reach the phone that the problem starts. Only base-64 encoded x509.cer files show as "readable" files on the handset. Problem though that these files only open with a notepad reader. I want to install the certificate, not read the thing.
Am I just being stupid here or what but I have called several of the Nokia support centers (South Africa and United Kingdom) and they don't know how to install such on an N73 either... ???
Is there any hope out there ?

The icon should show up as a light blue background (round circle) with a questionmark.
==DONE
As if it's something wrong with the file.
== Phone says "unable to open file"
You should export the DER encoded binary file.
== Done
What your doing wrong is that you first have to click on the certification path and then chose the next certificate on the tree (in my case starfield secure certification authority), not the root, then press view certificate then go to details and export.
== File Exported - from PC onto PC desktop.
You cannot immediatlely go to details after you've opened up the certificate window and press copy to file.
== It is here where I get stuck...
I can export the file but HOW do I get it to INSTALL on the phone. I copied the file (all steps above) to the phone (from PC), once I try to open it, it says - "Unable to open file"...
If I use the phone's browser to go to the web page where the certificate lies, the phone asks me if I want to continue since the certificate is invalid, I can view the details but can not save it here...
Please help
Regards
Raptor

Not able to open mail from my mac, gmail repeatedly asking for password. but using same password able to open gmail on safari

not able to open mail from my mac, gmail repeatedly asking for password. but using same password able to open gmail on safari

okay well they got me to take out some .plist files to see if that would help it didn't. I'm not sure what ones that they deleted for my self maybe someone here would be abel to tell you what ones to take out but didn't work the one that came close to working was this going into keychain and deleting the account(s) then reading them again.
if you are to do this please back up first with Time Machine. You can do this with a usb drive.
Okay so go back to where you had internet accounts and make sure mail is shut. click the - on the account your having problems with then quit system preferences.
Okay so then press cmd and space bar at the same time then type 'keychain access' into the search then click on 'keychain access'
once it is open go to the top of the window and put your email address that you are having problems with.
once you have put in your full email, have a look at what comes up i deleted things in the kind colome with 'internet password' and anything with under name that had smtp.gmail.com or imap.gmail.com so it would look like this, map.gmail.com - internet password.
right click and delete them. make sure not to touch any other files that dont say them things on them.
Once you have done this quit keychain access and then restart the computer, once the computer is restarted go back to system preferences and internet accounts and re-add the account.
Hope this helps. if something is not clear just ask.

Hmmmm... would appear that you need to be actually logged in to enable the additional menu features.
Have you tried deletting the plists for MAS?

Failing that, I will have to throw this back to the forum to see if anyone else can advise further.
