User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; rv:45.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/45.0 Build ID: 20160315153207 Steps to reproduce: 1. Connect to password-unprotected public wifi AP with a logon page (e.g. at Starbucks) 2. Go to a website secured with https (e.g. https://support.mozilla.org) Actual results: Wifi Login Page is blocked by firefox: "Your connection is not secure "The owner of support.mozilla.org has configured their website improperly. "To protect your information from being stolen, Firefox has not connected to this website "This site uses HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS) to specify that Firefox only connect to it securely. As a result, it is not possible to add an exception for this certificate Expected results: Detect that the AP requires user to login or accept terms/conditions and redirect them to that page in a new tab. -- or -- Indicate on the error page that they may need to login to the public wifi first from a non-secured http website (e.g. http://example.com). Due to the increase use of SSL, these websites are progressively getting fewer.
