I connect to two INTERNAL IP cameras. Typical behavior is when connecting it will ask for username/password. Once I do..all is good.

As I do not want every PC that requires the camera views to have to enter usernames and passwords, I entered them in to the script that pulls the two feeds.

All works..almost as expected. However, Firefox pops up a "Confirm" box which I have to click twice. Once for each camera. The message is:

Confirm

? You are about to log in to the site "192.168.xxx.xxx" with the username "xxxxxxx".

Ok...or Cancel


This is very annoying I cannot see where to turn this OFF.

FF v25 updated today. Tks

Is dialog new to Firefox 25, or did you see it in earlier versions as well?

Does the script use basic authentication, i.e., username:password@hostname, or does it log in using another method?

more options

Yes...that is correct, just a simple authentication as stated.

I have enable this method as this script runs and pulls the two camera feeds into a single browser tab, video1 displays in the top frame, and video2 in the bottom frame. The script also positions and sizes the windows, as well as the window placement on the desktop. This gets run automatically from the Startup Folder when windows logs in.

Otherwise, if I take out the username/p/w portion, I will then need to visit every station in the plant in order to enter in the credentials, where another popup allows you to 'save" those credentials.

Granted I would only have to do it the once, but if I could just turn that off, I would be good to go right NOW!

This script gets pulled from a common location, so I only have to edit this one script if there are changes required.

This WAS all done previously, and I would imagine the last Admin had to visit each PC.

I have since had to purchase newer Cameras, so the script changes to work with the new ones. Tks

more options

Hmmm... Firefox might be caching the credentials and asking for your approval to re-use those rather than objecting to what your script is doing. If you clear just "Active Logins" through the

History > Clear Recent History

feature, does that make any difference in whether you get prompted for approval?

more options

Good morning jscher, Tried clearing History, Active Logins..etc. I had also created a user without a password, yet I still get the Confirm box. I do not have to enter anything, I just have to click "OK" for each camera. It would just be a lot more streamlined if I didn't have to confirm anything.

I am now going through the about:config to see if I can find anything to turn this OFF.

more options

Ok...Here is the behavior I am seeing.

Upon initall launch of a new browser window with the camera feed, it will ask me to confirm that I am logging to said site. If I open another Tab, and close the camera Tab, then relaunch the cam feed, of course now it does NOT ask, as the browser session is still active. At least thats what I would assume.

There must be a setting I can toggle this behavior?? Yes?? Somehwere in the about:config file maybe?

Where all this really plays into, is some of the PC that require this cam feed, do not have a keyboard or mouse hookup. (Thin Clients) In the event that something happens with Windows on those PC's, all a user has to do is reboot the Thin Client (reset), the system auto logs in and then auto opens all the respective windows along with the cam feeds from various scripts.

I hope this can be disabled Tks

Aha......we are getting so close. Thanks, once I added the new iteger scheme, it no longer asks to Confirm. Whahooo. So now......looking for another setting as now all is good, except Firefox crashes after about 10min 20 sec or so, amost exactlly the three times I have been timing it. Must be a buffer thats filling maybe?

One more pointer would be great. Tks

Firefox is crashing while receiving the camera streams? I'm not sure how that is handled. A plugin??

more options

I have disabled all Extensions and Plug-ins exept for QTime. I do not have any ADD ONS. Whatching my taskmanager, firefox starts out using a minimal amout of Mem, but in the 10min and 20sec until crash time, it continually grows. The last crash had it at around 1,9198,112kb.

I have set Cached Web Content to 350Mb. Turned off hardware acceleration.

Still a working on this.

more options

Still no joy. Previous crashes were based on the cam feed being in mpeg4 video mode. I changed this to a JPEG mode, and now memory in taskmanager climbs to the max and FF crashed in just over a minute. I have also tried this running FF is safe mode, still the same.

At this point it looks like FF aint gonna do the job. memory just runs out of control.

Safari is fine.

I am running this same feed in FF Portable v3.0 (OLD Cameras), so over the weekend I will repoint to the New cameras (D-Link DCS-3716) and confirm if it is indeed a FF version problem.

I'll post back my findings.

Have a great weekend.
