Please relocate security warning, FF 52.0

Post by LesF »

Could you please relocate the warning that appears when you try to log on to an insecure web page? The warning appears directly on top of the user name or password box, and it's a PITA to have to click to remove it. Jjust put it off to the side of these boxes. Thanks.

Did you try to press the ESC key key to close it?

dickvl, that wasn't an issue. I knew how to close it. It was just annoying, and I was suggesting that the warning be moved to a position that wouldn't block the log-in fields.
However, a response from the other forum gave me the solution. In the about:config file, change the "security.insecure_field_warning.contextual.enabled" from true to false.

I started getting the messages about my logins only a few days ago. The one about entire websites not being secure have been around longer.
