I don't use my older XP Pro computer much now but I had updated SeaMonkey to 
2.20 when it first was out and then didn't use it till now. Where's the cert 
exception window? Is it removed?  I have GoDaddy and Comodo (and all Comodo 
related) authorities as untrusted for years in all browsers. I want to be 
alerted by my browsers when a site uses a cert from one of these 
authorities. I make an exception many times but not always. Sometimes I make 
one time exceptions and with a few sites I trust permanent exceptions. 
Mozilla browsers make the process convoluted...Opera handles it much more 
gracefully.

But using SeaMonkey on XP Pro just now, I did not get the cert exception 
window when I tried to login to the site I use as my home page. It now uses 
secure login only (for many years it had both types of login and I used the 
non-secure) and it uses a GoDaddy cert. Instead of getting the exceptions 
window, I got an error message instead "Invalid OCSP signing certificate". 
I got that because GoDaddy certs are untrusted but what I needed was the 
certs exception window so I could add an exception!  Opera 12.16 on XP Pro, 
threw the same error and then very gracefully asked me if I wanted to make 
an exception and it took me two seconds to make the exception and get logged 
in.  It was time consuming and convoluted to figure out how to do the 
exception now on SeaMonkey and I had to import the cert from another browser 
as SeaMonkey balked at getting it.
