I *cannot* connect to the site at the moment despite switching the pref as you did.
Thanks for trying. And can you access the website with TBB 3.6.5? If so, that confirms the behaviour I have been seeing.
I have found one difference between 3.6.5 and 3.6.6 that still consistently occurs; perhaps by-design?
- Preferences > Privacy > Use custom settings for history - Untick "Always use private browsing mode". TB will now restart - Visit website with self-signed certificate - Tick "Permanently store this exception" - Clicking [Confirm Security Exception] won't have any effect. The button animates the click but nothing happens?!
This occurs with both https://www.patternsinthevoid.net and https://nosur.com. I have successfully used the flow described above with all previous TBB versions. Afterwards I immediately re-enable the "Always use private browsing mode" option and then have the permanent exception for the website.
Was this behaviour changed by design? If so, it might be user-friendlier to just disable the checkbox, rather than having a non-functional button. What is the recommended way to add a permanent exception (if at all, because that would obviously make the user uniquely fingerprintable).
Thanks, Bram
