Add Securiy Exception
Recently, every time SeaMonkey starts to download my new Gmail messages it shows an Add Security Exception message indicating an invalid certificate, which I have to click to continue. The details show that it appears to be related to my Avast antivirus checking the SSL secured messages. I leave Permanently store this exception checked, but that seems to have no effect, as the message still pops up each time mail is checked. Is there any way to ensure that Seamonkey actually does store the exception? -- C.

Is there any way to ensure that Seamonkey actually does store the exception? The best solution is to install the Avast root certificate in Seamonkey. The installation is automatic for Thunderbird and clients that rely on the Windows root certificate store (e.g. Outlook), but not for Seamonkey. The procedure is outlined here (for Thunderbird, but it can easily be adapted to Seamonkey): https://feedback.avast.com/responses/mail-shield-related-ssl-eror-unable-to-get-local-issuer-certificate But, in a nutshell, you have to export the Avast certificate from the Windows certificate manager and import it to Seamonkey. -- MCBastos This message has been protected with the 2ROT13 algorithm.

Re: Add Securiy Exception
Thanks. Importing the certificate stopped the annoying popup message. I still wonder whether the lack of response to checking the Permanently store this exception box is a bug.
