I have my Email with AT&T. EVERY time I go to download or send Email,
I get a PopUp saying:
======================================================================
Website certificate by an unknown authority
Unable to verify the identity of imailhost.worldnet.att.net as a trusted
site.
...etc.
======================================================================
...EACH TIME I select "Accept this certificate permanently" and click
:OK:, but the next time it happens again!

This is an annoying nuisance!!!

Can I get Thunderbird to accept the certificate every time instead of
bitching?

You can give this add-on a try and see if helps to fix your issue.

Hi! I've installed Remember Certificate Exception add-on, and after running Selenium test, it opens Firefox and there is no RCE installed there and the problem with certificate is still on. Why it isn't in the firefox if I've installed it? Please help me.

It would probably help if you could state what your problem is, and what
the Selenium test does.

You replied to a message from November 2009 without quoting anything of
the original text. Also, this is a Thunderbird group. For problems with
Firefox mozilla.support.firefox would be the better choice.

Looking at the Remember Certificate Exception add-on, it's not something
I'd use. Auto-click to confirm a certificate security exception means a
higher risk to get to a malicious web site.

Cross-posted and follow-up set to mozilla.support.firefox.
