Security alert pop-up...

Is there a way to turn off the secrity alert pop-up? I'm talking about the one that comes up when you move from a secure to un-secure site, etc.

Isn't there a checkbox you can select so that so that you don't get asked that again? If not, then type about:config in the url bar, scroll down to security.warn_entering_secure and security.warn_leaving_secure. Set these to false and you should be okay.

Nope. Both are already set to false. And there is no checkbox on the warning popup.

That may be a Windows warning rather than FF.

Go to Internet Options in Control Panel.
On the Advanced tab scroll down to the Security section and remove the check about warning when going from secure to nonsecure sites..

Already off in Windblows. The pop-up is definitely from Firefox.

Just use the bookmark for themes and extensions, enter something in the search box and press enter. The alert should pop-up stating that you are send information from a secured sited to an unsecured site...

Help someone...this is an annoyance. I don't get this in IE when doing the exact same thing just mentioned in the above sentence.

security.ui.enable
Enable the Security UI?

Already altered all of the security.warn items in config. Doesn't turn it off. Anyone?
