Either you have distrusted root SSL certificates or else your database of certificates has become corrupted. To start, go to your SeaMonkey menu bar and select [Edit > Preferences]. On the left side of your Preferences window, select [Preference > Privacy & Security > Certificates]. On the Certificates pane, select the Manage Certificates button. On the Certificates Manager window, select the Authorities tab. Do you see a list of certification authorities, under which their root certificates are listed indented? If so, scroll down the list to Digicert. Select DigiCert High Assurance EV Root CA (the certificate used by Facebook) and then the Edit Trust button. You should see a checkmark for "This certificate can identify websites". If there is no checkmark, terminate SeaMonkey, open the folder containing your profile, delete file cert8.db, relaunch SeaMonkey, and try Facebook again. If you do not see a list of certification authorities and their root certificates in the Certificates Manager window, then your database of certificates is corrupted or missing. You need to import the database file from a good SeaMonkey installation while SeaMonkey is not running. In this case, I do not know the name of the file; but someone else reading this thread should be able to provide it. If the file on your PC already exists but is corrupted, I do not know if reinstalling SeaMonkey will help. -- David E.
