you must log in to this network before you can access the internet
Hi everyone,
I have this message that appears on every web page but my connection is fine: "you must log in to this network before you can access the internet". It appeared I don't know how (maybe after using my VPN?) and I can't get rid of it. Any idea?
In advance, thanks a lot.

Hi, type about:config into the address bar, press Enter and accept any warning, then copy and paste the following into the search box network.captive-portal-service.enabled Now on the search result, click the Toggle button at the right-hand end to change from True to False. You may need to restart Firefox to implement the change. More - see under the Network Detection heading in How to stop Firefox from making automatic connections.
