I was on a site I personally trust.

I clicked on the link.
I received a [evidently SeaMonkey generated] message stating:
This Connection is Untrusted
You have asked SeaMonkey to connect securely to xyz.com, but we can't
confirm that your connection is secure. ...
I clicked on "I Understand the Risks".
I was presented with another warning.
I clicked box labeled "Add exception".
I received a screen titled "Add Security Exception".
There was no *VISIBLE* check box to essentially go anyway.
!!! I *HAVE* seen such a message on a different machine with a
*DIFFERENT* screen geometry which allowed overriding the warnings. !!!
OBVIOUSLY there is a SeaMonkey bug "some where".
"Cost effective to pursue?" *I DOUBT IT* !!!!!
Once I've been warned, is there any way to *COERCE* overriding well
intentioned warnings????

This reminds me of the problem I had when I tried to install Kaspersky
A/V, and I’d bet it’s not a coincidence. Kaspersky kept blocking
SeaMonkey’s attempt to connect to ¾ of my bookmarks and I wound up
uninstalling Kaspersky. My other browsers were unaffected.
SeaMonkey is responsible for perhaps one percent of all site visits
worldwide, and that is by rounding UP. The solution to this problem
would appear to be obvious. Fix the internals of the browser so that it
has the same trusted connection compatibility as the others supplying
the other 99+%.
