Hi. I don't know if it is a Firefox "Security Warning" or a Windows 7 security warning.

But, either way, I want to turn it off. I get them almost ANY time I enter FORM DATA on a website.

A pop-up appears saying this: "Security Warning - Although this page is encrypted, the information you have entered is to be sent over an unencrypted connection and could easily be ready by a third party. Are you sure you want to continue sending this information?"

I then always click "Continue" . . . and the log-in information continue without any problem.

But such as headache to be asked this EVERY time I log into to ANYTHING.

Anybody know how to turn this thing off?

Thanks.

Here is the fix:

- goto about:config - filter for "security.warn" - disable (false) lines containing 

     "security.warn_enter*, ....warn_viewing*, ....warn_leaving*, ....warn_submit*

(there are 10 lines with these headings - set all to 'false')
