RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1800061

People

(Reporter: redsquirrel, Unassigned)

Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:108.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/108.0

Steps to reproduce:

On any local HTTP server try to enter information a form.

Actual results:

A security warning shows up under each form field while typing, this can sometimes block other UI elements of the form and is problematic. In the past this could be disabled in about:config.

Expected results:

When setting security.insecure_field_warning.contextual.enabled to false in about:config, this warning should not appear.

Another option should be to simply not show this warning on local IP ranges such as 192.168.x.x/16 or 10.x.x.x/8 as it hinders development and serves no purpose.

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::DOM: Security' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please correct in case you think the bot is wrong.

Component: Untriaged → DOM: Security
Product: Firefox → Core

Looks like we have the very same bug on file already. Moving the discussion over to the password manager folks. Bug 1800061.
