How do I disable the "Security Warning" - encrpted script message when I log in to a website using https ? If I cannot get the website owner to change it's code

more options

I read the reply to the user who asked this question: Whenever I log onto a website via https, I get this message:

Although this page is encrypted, the information you have entered is to be sent over an unencrypted connection and could easily be read by a third party. Are you sure you want to continue sending this information? This is followed below with two boxes, "continue" and "cancel".

In order to connect with the website, I must click on "continue" each time I log onto the website. HOW do I permanently DISABLE this message?

This also causes Firefox NOT to be able to remember the password for this website, which is what I really want.

The reply didn't help because it directed the user to change the code on his own webpage.

I cannot get the website I receive this message from to change their code.

Please help...

There is a disconnect here: if the form is being submitted securely, then you would not get that message. So although you may be looking at an HTTPS address in the address bar, Firefox is warning you that your username and password are going to an HTTP address and being transmitted in the clear rather than being protected.

That's definitely not the normal way to set up a login page. Do you want to give the URL of the problem login page to get specific comments? Without knowing more, it sounds as though it isn't designed for secure logins and you may be wasting your time accessing their login form using HTTPS.

Anyway, to answer your question, I don't think there is a way to disable that warning.
