Some thoughts:

-    Select this option to accept the certificate temporarily and connect to the
-    website. Certificate Manager will recognize this certificate as legitimate
-    identification only until the next time you launch the browser. You may see
-    the same alert the next time you attempt to visit the website.</li>

I think this is wrong, so I re-wrote it. Have MailNews and Navigator open, close Navigator: wouldn't that result in the cert still accepted? I just tried closing the browser on mac (which won't quit SeaMonkey). Can you try on windows?

Note also that I focused on the buttons - the 2 acceptance options might suffer a bit. But I didn't really knew how to solve it the "View Certificate" button isn't optionally positioned...(Make your choice and then View the cert?).
