260989 - need checkbox to let users disable warning about a user/pass in the URL

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 243572

(Core :: Security, defect)

Description

[Jeremy M. Dolan]

Firefox 0.10, filing under "Browser" based on bug 122445.

When connecting to a site with a username or user and pass specified in the URL,
Firefox presents the user with a warning explaining what will actually happen.
There should be a checkbox to disable this warning in the future (defaulting to
"continue to show"), for people who actually know how to read a URL. I should
think some intranets make use of user@host links for legitimate purposes. In
fact, I think ours used to. Firefox would be unusable for navigating such
intranets, if every link popped up a warning.

although your suggested solution is a little different, I think this would be
covered by bug 243572 (however that is solved)
