I frequently visit HTTPS virtual hosts on a server that does not have valid certificates for them, and therefore need to add many different server exceptions for the same certificate.  When I go to delete some of these exceptions, the confirmation dialog box confusingly lists the certificate name (which is the same for all these exceptions), rather than the server name.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit a bunch of sites with the same invalid server certificate (e.g. <https://b-m.mit.edu>, <https://b-k.mit.edu>, <https://scripts2.mit.edu>, <https://scripts3.mit.edu>.
2. Add certificate exceptions for them.
3. Edit → Preferences → Advanced → Encryption → Servers
4. Select the exceptions just added.
5. Delete
Actual Results:  
Are you sure you want to delete these server exceptions?

Expected Results:  
Are you sure you want to delete these server exceptions?
