SSL (Secure Socket Layer) changing again? (Solved)

Post by TC-21-32 »

I ran into a website that changed their SSL requirements again. Doggone it.
I can read and thank but cannot post or PM. The fellow has a 95 yr old brass carburetor part I'd really like to have.
Been looking at a new Seamonkey, Mine's quite old (2.49.1) and Mike's mega.nz site won't let me in due to the old browser.
Pale moon 27.6.1 behaves the same. Out of date also.
It's been years since I used an sfs file but excited to try it again. An old GUI guy.
What options are out there for old users like me when this happens?
I don't do windows.

What Puppy version are you using?

The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be older.
This is not what I expected :o

Solved. I grabbed a tarball.bz from the SeaMonkey project for 2.53.16.
Plopped it in a save file and presto. Updated SSL. It even looked for SeaMonkey files on its own and I didn't even have to think.
Same browser, same tabs, same bookmarks with an upgraded backend. :thumbup:
Thanks to the crew here, I got over my fear of tarballs. :oops:
