Mozilla SeaMonkey Linux versions are borked (both 32bit and 64bit). Both
report 2.3.1. But *worse* is that they reenstate DigiNotar Root CA.
Tested both ways:
1. 32bit linux deleted DigiNotar Root CA and then did the update via
Help|Check for Updates. DigiNotar Root CA is now back.
Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:6.0.1) Gecko/20110830
Firefox/6.0.1 SeaMonkey/2.3.1
2. 64bit linux deleted DigiNotar Root CA and then did the update via
Help|Check for Updates. DigiNotar Root CA is now back. So I downloaded
the entire bz2, deleted the old, and extracted to a new folder;
DigiNotar Root CA is now back on that version as well.
Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:6.0.1)
Gecko/20110830 Firefox/6.0.1 SeaMonkey/2.3.1
I've notified the Mozilla devs & Justin Wood (Callek) who is responsible
for the builds.
