Firefox does not automatically load nor find the login page for a public network (i.e. username and password)

To log in on a public network without a password-key (not secured), a user login is required. After connecting to the network, the browser, upon opening it, normally automatically loads the login page, in order to enter a username and password and connect to the internet. Firefox doesn't find the login page automatically, so I need to switch to google Chrome just to log in to the network. Does this have anything to do with user settings in the options of firefox?

Any ideas?

thx!

Did you try one of the other connection settings?

Hi,

You can try setting the login page as the Home page and choose to Show my home page beside When Firefox starts:.

Alternatively, and/or to preserve your current settings you could also pin it as an always present one-click away App tab.

Changing the current homepage will not work, since I have problems with all public networks: I usually don't know the login page url. Like in other browsers, the login page should load automatically.

Thx for replying
