Anybody?

Still unsolved :(

Perhaps your question could be misunderstood as normally it seems too obvious ... but then your router may work differently than most (or I don't understand the problem).

Normally you would probably save http://192.168.1.1/ in your bookmarks (not user:pass@192.168.1.1, don't save credentials in bookmarks) to access your router admin tool.

When you access 192.168.1.1 you'll see a little dialog box on the top with FF asking "Do you want Firefox to remember the password on http://192.168.1.1/?" and you would obviously click remember. In most routers this should give you access to the router admin tool but should not be confused with wireless security keys/user passes (WPA etc.).

You can of course manage saved credentials (user name/password combinations) in Preferences > Security > Saved Passwords...

"I don't understand the problem" - exactly.

As I stated in the original post, I have the credentials saved; that is not the problem. I just want my browser to automagically log me into the router when using a URL with credentials integrated into it (IE: http://user:pass@192.168.1.1) instead of popping up with the world's most annoying dialog box. In previous versions of FireFox this was something you could change by setting network.http.phishy-userpass-length to 255 in about:config, and was disabled some time ago. I want to know if there is a new workaround for this.

You could solve this by writing an AutoIt script that will hit "Enter" every time the dialog pops up but that seems to be a bit...well...Overkill :D Plus it's more of a quick fix than a long-term one, and I'd like to just tell the browser to STFU already!

I am aware of the security risks this poses but if somebody has tunneled into my machine to see my router password, they have already hacked it anyway. Malware doesn't touch my system sooooo...I'm willing to take the chance of somebody spending their time trying to hack a home network with no useful information on it and seeing my router PW.

If I understand your problem, I think it would be a bad thing to build a browser without warning for the general public, even though in your case that would seem reasonable. If a workaround should be provided is debatable.

It's a bit difficult to understand why a pop-up in your case would be the "world's most annoying dialog box". If this is all that's bothering you, I can't quite imagine why this is a serious problem ;-)

I'm not sure if you have IIS service running on your system. If so, close the service, it may solve the issue.

I deleted the entry in about:config for network.http.phishy-userpass-length, uninstalled firefox, reinstalled, then added the entry back in and set it to 255. Restarted firefox again, then redid all the bookmarks for my router and NOW it's working. Thanks for trying though. Also; no to IIS server.
