Hi,

On a friend's computer, they are getting this error when SM <2.38 tries to perform auto-udpate. Apparently, it's a "known issue" related to SSL certificate mismatch. See first forum post here
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2964365

The solution is to use admin rights to download and install a fresh copy of the SeaMonkey distribution.

However, in this case I'd like to try to get their auto-update working (long story) so they can get onto >2.38, and then it should be OK.

I don't fully understand the cause of the issue (client cert, server cert, string mismatch), but I did notice some about:config values in my own correctly updated 2.38 version.

I wonder if they change
app.update.cert.requireBuiltIn
true -> false
would it allow them to get past the error and receive the new version?

app.update.cert.requireBuiltIn;true
app.update.certs.1.commonName;aus2-community.mozilla.org
app.update.certs.1.issuerName;CN=DigiCert SHA2 Secure Server CA,O=DigiCert Inc,C=US
app.update.certs.2.commonName;aus2-community.mozilla.org
app.update.certs.2.issuerName;CN=Thawte SSL CA,O="Thawte, Inc.",C=US
app.update.url;https://aus2-community.mozilla.org/update/3/%PRODUCT%/%VERSION%/%BUILD_ID%/%BUILD_TARGET%/%LOCALE%/%CHANNEL%/%OS_VERSION%/%DISTRIBUTION%/%DISTRIBUTION_VERSION%/update.xml
