If it is not acceptable to you, any contributions are welcome.

This happens because libsoup (the network backend) does not feature a
way to expose the SSL certificates involved, and thus does not allow the
user interface to manipulate them.

It will only consider valid the certificates in /etc/ssl/certs so you
can at least modify them and have part of the old functionality.
