Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.15; rv:89.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/89.0

Steps to reproduce:

I did nothing more than update to the latest Firefox. After that, this weird popup started popping up everywhere. I'm on my home wifi network.

Actual results:

A popup stating "You must log in to this network before I can access the Internet" drops down from the main browser bar, sometimes with a button to access more information or submit a bug like this

Expected results:

Not have come up, I'm on a private home network.

Thanks for reporting this. With a new profile, could you capture a http log and attach it here?

Additionally, in about:config, if you could search for the flags "captivedetect.canonicalURL" and "captivedetect.canonicalContent" and share their values here, that may be helpful.

Flags: needinfo?(work)

Hi, since the day I posted this, I haven't seen the tooltip again. Should I still provide logs as you asked?

Thank you, the log is not needed.
