The delete-certs pane is a known problem with Mozilla which we can't fix.
It doesn't paint properly for some platforms (and sometimes gives
inconsistent results even on the same platform). My tests show that it
should delete the certs properly; it just doesn't update the window right
(i.e. if you go back in after restarting Mozilla the certs you deleted
should no longer be listed).
I don't remember what happened last time I tried Ask Every Time - it was a
while back - I'll test it again. If it's broken, though, I won't be able
to do much except report it to Mozilla.
Note that we have considerable evidence that the presence of multiple user
certificates (expired or not) confuses Mozilla, and it then has problems
figuring out which cert to offer as a default. That may not be related to
this problem though.
