I am no apologist for Seamonkey/Firefox/Mozilla/etc, but ... if a program /can/ bypass your firewall without asking permission, and without your granting permission, then it is not so much a firewall as a placebo, and should be upgraded/updated/replaced immediately. Usually teh way this happens is the install grants itself permission. I then have deny it permission explicitly. I am not happy about teh way the firewall (ZoneAlarm) allows this. But I found a few days ago that FF got through and when I went to the appropriate page in the FireWall to reset it; it was not set! That is why the question arose. D.

Neither are designed to bypass firewalls. If your firewall is doing its job, that should not even be possible. In the program list, look for SeaMonkey not Firefox. I guess I will have to start doing that, since this is the worst example yet of a user not knowing what the hell they are using.

You are one of the users that don't know your versions. Actually I do. I have Firefox 7.0.1 installed. I'm looking for the one that people call 7.01, when they ask for support. Is there somewhere in this thread that referred to 7.01 other than yourself? I figured that you'd entered the 'typo zone' and simply pointed you to the downloads for FF 7.0.1. What was posted on this thread was a question about FireFox (incorrect spelling btw) in the SeaMonkey support newsgroup. It was pointed out that this was a SeaMonkey support newsgroup and the question should be directed to the mozilla.support.firefox group. Then we were informed that if we had looked at the user agent, we would have noticed the user was using SeaMonkey, and directing them to the Firefox support group was the wrong thing to do, so I guess we are supposed to offer support here. Also don't forget to look at the user agent before posting any replies from this point forward. Personally, I don't think the OP is that stupid to not know whether they are asking a question about Firefox or not. As often as it is done, I also don't believe that identifying a version x,yz instead of x.y.z is a result of a typo, laziness maybe. Whatever program and version dustbin is using I hope the problem is resolved. I use SM for posting. Whoever criticised me for posting to the wrong group was probably right. The question was about FF even though SM was used to post the question. D. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey

Seamonkey cannot display https sites while IE and Chrome can
Hello there, I have this problem at work where I use Seamonkey (v2.0.14) or Firefox (v6) to access the internet through a proxy. Https sites are not displayed properly while I continuously have to add exceptions for the certificates that are not considered valid. At the same time IE and Chrome have no trouble working with the same sites and never complain about invalid certificates. How can I fix this? Are there any changes I can make to the Seamonkey configurations? Is this a problem with the proxy?

I have an iMac using OS 10.6.8 I just moved from SeaMonkey 2.0.14 to 2.4.1. In one fell swoop. I felt it was a risk on my part, but...it was totally trouble free and without problems. I think it important that everybody knows that. The windows seem 'crisper', brighter and load in seconds. Frequently as little as TWO. Big change.
