Thanks for the report!

Does it work with other browsers?

haven't tested, will install chromium and report later today . i don't know if it was clear but it works when using KDE plasma and not XMonad i login in my college's wifi by using dm-tool to switch to the greeter and then opening firefox on KDE Plasma.

it works on chromium

Good to know.

Can you reproduce the issue with about:logging enabled? Also add ,CaptivePortalService to the new log modules string before starting.
You can log with either the profiler or logging to file, just send the profile capture/logs to necko@mozilla.com.

Thanks!
