I've a page which will redirects after 5 seconds from a "secure page" to "non-secure page" and the data needs to be submitted by "POST" method. While redirecting I am getting "Security Warning" dialog box. If I click the continue button in the dialog box, the page is submitted using "POST" method.

The issue is If I didn't click the continue button after 5 seconds the page is redirected to non secure page and submitted using "GET" method. This is reproducible only in FF and not in other browsers. Can someone please help ?

This is an issue of the website, again it may not support Firefox. It could proprietary issues. Could you please explain more in detail.

I've a page say https://www.xxxxxxxxx.com/a. After 5 seconds the page needs to be automatically submitted by post method using javascript to a non-secure page http://www.xxxxxxxxx.com/b. While redirecting I am getting "Security Warning" dialog box. If I click the continue button in the dialog box, the page is submitted using "POST" method.

The issue is If I don't click the continue button in the security dialog box, after 5 seconds the page is redirected to non secure page and submitted using "GET" method. But it needs to be submitted by "POST" method. This is reproducible only in FF and not in other browsers.

You may get an answer here but it could be worth trying elsewhere such as
