User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:92.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/92.0
Steps to reproduce:
- 4 months ago I changed hosting and updated server name in my mail account settings in Thunderbird. Old was let's say mail.server1.com, new is mail.server2.com
- Today hosting certificate was updated. Initially all worked well.
- I accessed my mail server through Firefox as https://mail.server2.com Just out of curiosity. Not sure whether it affected somethings, but who knows? I use TB 78.13.0 64-bit on Ubuntu 20.
Actual results:
- After that Thunderbird started showing popup that server name in certificate does not match accessed server name and in edited field in this popup rendered mail.server1.com:995 (old server!)
- Accepting it as exception did not help. I deleted my Thunderbird accounts and recreated them with entering mail.server2.com in settings (So, in prefs file realhostname and hostname are the same now!)
- After that all started working. But in some time the same popup as in step 4 was rendered again but with new servername mail.server2.com:995. Accepting exception worked in this case and I can access mail again.
I checked Certificates settings in Thunderbird. And what I have found? Instead of certificate of mail.server2.com, I see there certificate for server.hostingcompany.com It is correct certificate of my hosting server, but it is not certificate of my domain. That's why I suppose that accessing https://mail.server2.com in Firefox could create such mess.
But why? Is there any way to resolve such mess and remove exceptions?
