So are you just "ignoring" the message and carrying on using Firefox to get here, Marian ??

I just updated 52.0 and logged into GameBoomers without any message....
Edit
I was already logged in the first time... but noticed that GameBoomers does not have the "https" secure link on it... when I logged out and when I came back I got the message.. mysterymanor also does not have the "https" and I got a message cause I had to log into the site... its the lack of "https" I believe

I just tried logging out and I did get that warning... it is definitely because the GB URL doesn't use https.

Yes it's as Winfrey and Draclvr said -- Firefox has implemented this warning in their latest version, and it appears when you log into a website that doesn't use https. You're no more or less secure using a different browser, like IE, that doesn't display the warning, and Firefox doesn't prevent you from logging in. What the message means is that someone with a packet analyzer who is monitoring the connection between you and Gameboomers will be able to see your what your password is when you log in. On an https website, the password would be encrypted so someone monitoring logins wouldn't be able to tell what the password is that is being sent. If you want to disable the message, check https://support.mozilla.org/t5/Firefox/Disable-Option-for-the-The-new-login-warning/td-p/1374278you can disable the warning dropdown like this: enter about:config into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named security.insecure_field_warning.contextual.enabled double-click it and change its value to false.

"security.insecure_field_warning.contextual.enabled" Thanks, Jenny100 - but although I've searched down the lines I can't see this line anywhere !!

How difficult , or rather , perhaps , how expensive would it be , to make this an https site for the forums ? That's something Marita would have to find out.

It's really nothing to worry about and is only a warning. Transitioning to https, might be a thing to consider for future. if you are totally paranoid, just don't login to GB when you are in a starbucks and using their wifi

Hi Jenny100 I've found it now, thank you. I obviously didn't search well enough last time So, I've altered the "true" to "false" but now when I log-in to Gameboomers using Firefox I have to type in User Name and Password just as I do with IE !! Whereas I didn't have to with Firefox previously

Whereas I didn't have to with Firefox previously You can try deleting all your Gameboomers cookies, which should force Firefox to make new ones -- hopefully the new cookies will work properly. If you don't know how to delete cookies in Firefox, check this site https://support.mozilla.org/t5/Cookies-a...ed-on/ta-p/1919what is fire fox? is that a browser or is it like Nortons have been using Nortons for years. never did use a browser just Microsoft edge. If you don't know what something is, do a search at the Wikipedia. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefox

Transitioning to https, might be a thing to consider for future. if you are totally paranoid, just don't login to GB when you are in a starbucks and using their wifi I can't stand coffee , & loathe Starbucks for that matter , so that's hardly a concern . Paranoid is something I am not , I'm just not too fond of leaving personal information out in the open . Then again , I don't think there's much of anything to worry about here .

" You can try deleting all your Gameboomers cookies, which should force Firefox to make new ones -- hopefully the new cookies will work properly." Hi Jenny100 Sorry I couldn't make it back here sooner .... However, I already delete ALL cookies (using the Firefox Delete History function) on a regular basis and it doesn't make any difference. Guess I'll just put up with it. But thanks, anyway

It does the same think... I got a prompt. Once I told Firefox to remember the GB cookie, I haven't had to sign in again.

I have always deleted cookies using the "Firefox History" facility - since the year dot - and have NEVER asked for anything to be saved. So I never understood why any info WAS saved When I used to arrive at GB, by using Firefox, I'd click to log-in and all I had to do was tick a small box. I didn't have to type anything in. But if I arrived by using IE I had to type in all boxes. Now, whether I use Firefox or IE, when I click to log-in I have to type in all boxes. Obviously it's no great hardship. Just a mystery .... To a dumbo like me, anyway
