Details

The problem: If Firefox OS "sees" a SSID of a known network it automatically tries to connect to it. For example, if I'm at home, I want Firefox OS to automatically connect to my wifi called "HomeWifi". That's fine. Now if I'm at the airport, there may be a wifi called "HomeWifi", too. The Problem: Firefox OS sends my username and password to this station and tries to connect. Now my credentials are known to someone I don't trust. What I want to do: I want to change Firefox OS, so that I will get a message box as soon as it did find the known network. Something like: "Do you want to connect to the network called HomeWifi? [Yes] [No]" If I#m getting this at the airport - there's something wrong and I will press [No]. Firefox OS won't send my credentials and me and my wifi keeps secure. Now I was looking for a Event of the mozWifiManager that will fire if it "sees" a known network, but before it tries to connect. So I can do something like e.cancel = true; if I don't want to automatically connect to it. Is there something like this? If not, is there a way to get it implemented?
