245657 - Security warning dialog is not show again if cancelled initially

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 230676

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Gonzalo HIGUERA DÍAZ]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a2) Gecko/20040604 Firefox/0.8.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a2) Gecko/20040604 Firefox/0.8.0+

The interface of the warning dialog box when submitting insecure text is
misleading, since the "Cancel" button seems to imply cancelling the action,
which should mean both cancelling the submission and postponing the choice
implied by the checkbox.

Changing the wording to "Don't submit" might be more coherent with the current
behaviour. Showing the dialog again during the next insecure submission,
whatever the choice of the checkbox, would make sense with the current wording.

The dialog can be made to reapper by manually tweaking the configuration, for
example by entering as a URL "about:config" and setting true the
security.warn_submit_insecure option.

This is probably true of other security related dialogues of the security.warn_*
kind.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Submit an insecure form for the first time (for example in
http://www.google.com/)
2. Press "Cancel" in the warning dialogue (which at this time initially has the
checkbox unmarked).
3. Submit again an insecure form

Actual Results:  
The warning is not shown again.

Expected Results:  
The dialog should be shown again, since all things implied by the warning window
have been cancelled.
