Add Securiy Exception

2013-09-20 Thread Cecil Bankston
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?

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):

But, in a nutshell, you have to export the Avast certificate from the
Windows certificate manager and import it to Seamonkey.

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.
