Disable Firefox Security Warning

Question

Does anyone know how to disable the Firefox security warning:

Although this page is encrypted, the information you have entered is to be sent over an unencrypted connection and could easily be read by a third party. Are you sure you want to continue sending this information? 

I set all security.warn to false in about:config . I still get an annoying popup.

Thanks for the help.

Answer 1

Unfortunately, with 12.x it still cannot be disabled.

You can read the long-standing argument here on bugzilla about this very problem. Log in and support him!

I have found complaints about this post for at least six years. This is regularly reported on bugzilla and other Mozilla support sites and is a popular issue in many other support forums. According to most Moz developers, this is a critical security feature that should not be disabled. Personally, I find it very annoying, I hit MSDN through Google search queries all day, and I have to click on this stupid warning every time. If you see this a lot, it quickly becomes one of those warnings that you automatically ignore, which makes the “mandatory security” argument quite unconvincing.

Answer 2

At least with Firefox 16.x (and possibly earlier), the following strategy will disable the security warning:

In about:config change the value of security.warn_viewing_mixed from true to false .

In addition, in the dialog box indicated in the question, there is a flag that says: "Let me know when I am going to view an encrypted page containing some unencrypted information." You can simply uncheck this box the next time you meet it, which allows you to do the same thing as manually changing the setting in about:config .

For me, the code below handles a security popup

IAlert alert = driver.switchto (). alert ();

alert.acccept ();
