1.  On the SeaMonkey menu bar, select [Edit > Preferences].

2.  On the Preferences window, select [Privacy & Security > Certificates].

3.  On the Certificates pane, select the Manage Certificates button.

4.  On the Certificate Manager window, select the Authorities tab.

5.  Under any listed certification authority (CA) listed, select a
certificate.  (If the CA has a + in the box to the right, you will first
have to select that box to get a - and display the CA's certificates.)

6.  Select the Edit Trust button.  Check marks will appear in the
checkboxes for those certificate uses where the certificate is trusted.

No, step #6 is NOT intuitive.  You might think that the View button
would show the status of a certificate, but it does not.
