Mozilla Sea Monkey just advised me to upgrade to V.2.4.1, which I did.
Have used NS on a previous version and liked it, but when I upgraded the last time it went away - apparently no longer compatible.
When the new version installed, both Adblock and NS pages opened automatically. When I tried to download the latest version of NS SM blocked it and warned "Untrusted Site" > untrusted certificate. Same thing when I used "https" in the URL.

What's up with that? Is NS being clickjacked, am I being spoofed, or is there a glitch between Mozilla and NS?

I'm a little reluctant to over-ride this security block until I find out what's going on.

I may be paranoid, but believe that I might be at high risk from sophisticated security attacks for one reason or another.

The certificate didn't match the domain or was not signed by a known entity.
Could be a MITM attack, could be caused by a proxy (e.g. scanning proxy), … or maybe you have deactivated the particular CA at the top of the certificate chain of this particular certificate.

MITM attack, you say??!!

Oh my; that sounds pretty serious!

Other than that, I sure wish I was clever enough to understand a thing about what you just told me... (OK; where's the "DUH" smiley?)

Since I'm not, I guess I'll just have to learn to live without NoScript from now on and wait for some hacker to destroy my system.

Thanks anyway dhouwn.

> it went away

What do you mean by that?
This, NoScript Icon disappears in Firefox 4?

If so, the "fix" is the same, just reinstall it.
Or you should now be up to SeaMonkey 2.4.1, where Mozilla fixed the actual bug.

From where?

Amazing!

When i re-opened Sea Monkey (The recent upgrade to V.2.4.1 is what seemed to deactivate NS when I did that ) last night, "Viola!"; there was NoScript right where it had been in the last version, doing it's thing just fine.

(Now where's the "Amazed" smiley??)

I had thought about trying to find the installation file and re installing, but couldn't (it seems to have picked it's filepath on it's own) and I didn't try from this site (on the download page) after I got that "Untrusted Certificate" alarm... so I'm not sure where it came from or why it started working again all of a sudden, but it's back and seems to be getting along with the latest V. of Sea Monkey just fine.

If anyone here pulled a remote tweak for me... Thanks!

This just happened to me too on https://noscript.net. However secure.informatcion.com, which uses the same certificate is fine.

Okay figured it out, that's supposed to happened according to this: http://forums.informaction.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=5598
