How to Turn off " This connection is not secure...popup"

There must be a way to turn off this popup off. This is REALLY annoying when it covers a password box and to remove it i must click outside it and I lose focus on the password box. If you must put he box there then at least leave the first part of the password box clear so I cab click on it and not have to click again to get the focus back.

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

Ok Itried the answer above and it may work for someone (whoever wrote it and tried it out) but no good on a linux machine with Firefox installed as a snap.

I did find 3 solutions. 1 Change a flag in about:config. It does have the advantage/disadvantage of having to keep a sharp lookout for websites with http rather then https I am not putting a link because i guess that solution is undesirable for most people. 2

I extracted all the memory chips from my computer and flushed then down the toilet. This worked but had a few disadvantages, and not easily possible on MAC

3 Go to another browser. This has the disadvantage of having to learn another set of operating procedure, and will i just encounter the same mindless adherence to personal preferences the programmers want as apposed to what the end users want (and yes I know the programmers know best...). Just like Thunderbird email I no longer use (that was traumatic as i used it from Eudora onwards...)

Hello

Is it, your question.

Insecure connection password warning in Firefox https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/insecure-password-warning-firefox

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1507742 If you wish to test userChrome.css

No that is not my question.

No that is not the solution Your answer tells me WHY Firefox does it. I want to find out how to STOP Firefox doing it. It never used to do it. With most things of this nature, there would be an about:config solution

A working environment (user) in a given situation does not correspond to a working environment (other user) in a given situation, please understand that it is difficult to give an opinion, in the absence of the relevant page.

Other test of the relevant page http://http-password.badssl.com

https://blog.mozilla.org/tanvi/2016/01/28/no-more-passwords-over-http-please The about:config, preference, security.insecure_password.ui.enabled, no longer exists.

Perhaps as a follow up could someone use AI to find the solution for my MAC. I know my chosen solution will definitely work for my machine with both Windows10 & Kubuntu (this machine was dual boot), but am a bit ambivalent about it as a solution for my MAC & my Android phone
