Isisombululo esikhethiwe

The settings for Warning Messages was removed from the Security section in Firefox 4, those settings need to be accessed thru about:config now. It sounds like you are looking for the last one in the list below "Former settings in Firefox 3.6 on the Security panel"

See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config

  1. type about:config in the URL bar and press the Enter key.
  2. If you see a warning, accept it (promise to be careful)
  3. Filter = security.warn_
  4. double-click the pref in the lower panel on the about:config display to toggle to true or false according to the descriptions in the following (scroll down to security.warn to see those particular prefs)

Former settings in Firefox 3.6 on the Security panel

  • I am about to view an encrypted page
    • pref: security.warn_entering_secure
  • I am about to view a page that uses low-grade encryption
    • pref: security.warn_entering_weak
  • I leave an encrypted page for one that isn't encrypted
    • pref: security.warn_leaving_secure
  • I submit information that's not encrypted
    • pref: security.warn_submit_insecure
  • I'm about to view an encrypted page that contains some unencrypted information
    • pref: security.warn_viewing_mixed
