Yes, I mistranscribed the message. It would be nice if SeaMonkey (and other Mozilla) popups had content that could be marked and copied. >> How can I determine the issuer certificate so that I can either >> correct my configuration (in case I turned off the wrong trust bits) >> or else notify the U.S. Federal Trade Commission that they have a >> problem with their site certificate? > > I'm not sure, because I don't get a popup in cases like that.

There is no such button. For this, I did solve the problem. From another profile where I don't normally browse secure Web site, I went to the FTC site and browsed a secure page. I then exported the site certificate, which I then imported into the profile I would normally use. This workaround is somewhat contrived. If there is no method more direct, I will submit an RFE bug report. (I believe that SeaMonkey 1.x had a more direct method involving an option to import the site certificate.) -- David E.
