How can I change the Warning Messages Settings on Firefox 5?
I wonder why the options to enable/disable those warning messages whenever you enter or leave an encrypted page, etc., are no longer included in this version. Is it still possible to tinker with these settings with Firefox 5?
Chosen solution
The settings for the warning messages have been removed from the user interface (Bug 513166).
You need to change the related security.warn_* prefs directly on the about:config page.
Filter: security.warn
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.
- Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
- Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
- Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.
You can toggle Boolean prefs with a double-click.
