How do I revoke an exception granted for an invalid security certificate

When there is a problem with a security certificate, a "This Connection is Untrusted" page is displayed. If I click "I Understand the Risks" I am asked to "Add Exception". Before I do that, I want to know how to remove that exception.

Thank You for any help.

Thank you, cor-el. I am glad to know that I can back out of this if I need to.
