however,
in SM 2.33B1, I get told that "This Connection is Untrusted" and it
offers to take me to my "Home Page instead" (and I should point out that
it actually takes me to the http://www.seamonkey-project.org/start/ page
rather than my "Home Page, maybe because I use a Home Group rather than
a Home page!!)

If I open that page in FF 24.2.0, no problem, it even works in Konqueror
4.11.4!

Just not SM.

Anybody got any ideas??

Alright, now that my post has connected to a thread from last year, I'll
have a look through these posts and see if anything suggested works!!

Reading back through the thread, it would seem that I first need to know
who issued the Cert. Any ideas how I find out what Cert Auth a website
might use??

If you click on "Technical Details", it should show why the certificate was rejected. e.g. when I go to https://localhost/ (on my machine, running a web server for testing) I get:
The certificate is not trusted because it is self-signed.
The certificate is only valid for hostname
The certificate expired on 04/01/2014 19:21. The current time is 01/05/2015 
20:56.
Which tells me the site is using a self-signed certificate, which is only valid when addressed as "hostname" (not as "localhost") and expired over a year ago. Not a good sign if that's coming from a usually reputable website ;o)

If you click on "I Understand the Risks", and then "Add Exception...", you get to see a few more details before deciding whether to actually add an exception. In the resulting dialog, click "Get Certificate", then "View". On the "Details" tab, you should be able to trace through the intermediate certificates to the root authority. Click "Cancel" to close those dialogs (unless you want to add an exception to use the site, which isn't recommended unless you understand why the error is occurring - particularly as no-one else is seeing a problem).

Mark.
