Hi
I would love to try SeaMonkey, but I can't download it!
I am a long-term Mozilla user trying to download it from
http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases - using Firefox on Windows 7.
Frustratingly, I just get the following 'insecure connection' warning
(with no obvious option for circumventing it):
-----------------------------------
Your connection is not secure
The owner of download.cdn.mozilla.net has configured their website
improperly. To protect your information from being stolen, Firefox has
not connected to this website.
This site uses HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) to specify that
Firefox may only connect to it securely. As a result, it is not possible
to add an exception for this certificate.

-----------------------------------
which gives the impression that Firefox doesn't want you to download
SeaMonkey, that one part of Mozilla is not a good fit with another part.
The advice given in the Windows Installation Instructions on
http://www.seamonkey-project.org/doc/install-and-uninstall (text below)
is no help if there is no advice on getting beyond the warning page.
-----------------------------------
Note: Windows may warn you that it could not verify the publisher when
you try to run the installer. This is because the SeaMonkey installer
for Windows is not digitally signed. As long as you downloaded the
installer from either www.seamonkey-project.org or mozilla.org, you can
safely ignore it (more experienced users may use the checksums linked to
from the download pages to verify the integrity of the installer).
-----------------------------------
Looking forward to trying SeaMonkey - and seeing an update on the
Documentation so that other people don't get put off and abandon trying
to download it (as I nearly have been).
Thanks

That page is HTTP, not HTTPS. The error message does not make sense.
Are you able to use any other browser?
