That's mostly what 3.12.3.1 is. I checked, updated certificate store
is almost the only difference between 3.12.3.1 and 3.12.3 - plus two
or three minor fixes that are probably applied in Gentoo anyway.

As I mentioned above, your certificate store must be very outdated as
to not include StartCom root certificate. However, until recently it
wasn't allowed for code signing.

Looking further into this, I see why I've seen only two reports on
this issue so far. Official builds for both Firefox and SeaMonkey come
with their own NSS library, those always work correctly. Only vendor-
supplied builds rely on an independent NSS package which could be
outdated (but not always is, at least some distributions already use
NSS 3.12.4).

StartCom certs were added long ago but they were only allowed for
signing code relatively recently. The version of NSS isn't important
here, it's the version of the certificate store (ckbi library) that is
relevant. Mozilla used NSS_3_12_2_WITH_CKBI_1_75_RTM in Firefox
3.0.12, that's the first version to support StartCom's code signing.

No, David above is right - the Adblock Plus build is not the issue
(and never was, don't know which blog post you refer to). StartCom
Certification Authority should be trusted to identify software makers,
this is the case for all supported applications including SeaMonkey
2.0. Unless SeaMonkey on Gentoo is special of course :-(

Yep, that's SeaMonkey messing up extension registry. Adblock Plus
1.0.2 tries to work around these issues as much as possible - but
really, there isn't so much you can do. Adblock Plus 1.1 (coming out
today) will no longer support SeaMonkey 1.1. I sincerely recommend
installing SeaMonkey 2.0b1 when it comes out (hopefully in a week) and
giving it a try - despite the beta status. It should have far less
issues than the current release, especially if you are using
extensions.

I am not sure I can follow. You mean branching Adblock Plus
development - so that for example Adblock Plus 1.0.3 is released in
parallel with Adblock Plus 1.1? And Adblock Plus 1.0.3 would support
both the new filter syntax and SeaMonkey 1.1? This is theoretically a
possibility, a 1.0.x branch exists already. But I don't have the time
to do it like this, the effort is considerable and there will be too
few people to beta-test this release properly. So if you have
volunteers who would backport the relevant patches to 1.0.x branch -
sure, we can talk about it. If not - sorry.

I think it is clear in my post here: 
http://adblockplus.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3828
Adblock Plus dropped support for Gecko 1.8.0 long ago. Now it is time
to stop supporting Gecko 1.8.1.

Better use this as source of information: 
http://adblockplus.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3828

Yes, I have been waiting to drop support for SeaMonkey 1.1.x for a
very long time - most importantly because of the horribly outdated
extension installer. I hoped to see SeaMonkey 2.0 released before that
but this will take half a year longer from what I can tell (there is
no real roadmap and I didn't even get an approximate answer when I
nagged KaiRo about this). There was really tons of compatibility code
in Adblock Plus that was blocking important code refactoring, I
couldn't wait any longer. I hope that by the time I release Adblock
Plus 1.1 SeaMonkey 2.0b1 will be out - I will recommend upgrading to
this release. Stable or not, it will be much better than SeaMonkey
1.1. Of course, staying with Adblock Plus 1.0.2 will be another option.
