This is two problems that may actually be two separate issues, but I have no way to check if they occur independently.

Situation: Convergence is installed on machine A and is trying to access https://B:10000, which returns a self-signed certificate. Both A and B are on the same local network; B is not accessible from outside the network. A is running Firefox 8 with the Convergence extension installed.

Problem 1: Convergence incorrectly says that B is untrusted. This is understandable, since the notaries can't access it, but there should be a way to tell convergence "don't bother checking addresses in this range".

Problem 2: I click "I understand the risks", [Add Exception...], [Confirm Security Exception] -- and I am returned to the same warning screen. I cannot access the site. Disabling Convergence (without restarting Firefox) has no apparent effect.
