Re: Disable "this connection is not secure"
The mozillaZine forum is the only login where I see that in my daily browsing.
You won't see it when sites get on the more secure https protocol.

I know tat, but can I disable it? I do not need it and it makes my work longer to complete.

Re: Disable "this connection is not secure"
How many milliseconds longer?
I put my cursor into the Username field, the drop-down with my name appears, I select it and the PW field is filled in, I click Login and I'm in.
I prefer to use the Secure Login extension, but for some reason it doesn't work properly in Nightly. I can use it, if I open Add-ons Manager, then go back to the sites page, click the Secure Login icon to fill in the information then click Login. Talk about making work longer.
EDIT: Just solved that problem by installing Log Me In. What "this connection is not secure" message
I hope someone comes up with a solution for you.

This is NOT how it works for me. It worked fine yesterday, before this update. If it means extra steps, or I am left waiting, it is too long.WaltS48 wrote:How many milliseconds longer?

We are talking about the "This connection is not secure. Logins entered here could be compromised." message in the Username field. No?
This blog post indicates it is in the Password field. Communicating the Dangers of Non-Secure HTTP | Mozilla Security Blog
Not for me, and no extra steps required. Maybe I'll test with a fresh profile, someday.
Edit: Today was someday.
Using a new profile, I see the notice in both fields, before entering my Username, then my Password. I didn't notice any extra steps, but then I noted my Username and Password before creating the profile.
Edit#2: If I let Firefox remember the login information, all it takes is putting my cursor in the Username field, selecting the Username, the PW is automagically filled in, click Login and I'm here.
Again, mozillaZine is the only site where I see the notification.

Re: Disable "this connection is not secure"
I think you're missing the point.
On an http site, the notice appears and prevents the autofilling of user login info.
This requires extra keyboard/mouse inputs to log in and is undesirable.
On an https site, the notice does not appear and user login info is autofilled.

Re: Disable "this connection is not secure"
BTW that was done because there's a new attack that can gleam autofill data to steal passwords and such. Requiring the extra step avoids the data leak.
