276018 - How to get rid of the warning: You are about to log into the site "adultsite.com" with the username "foo."

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 243572

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[tevion48x]

Each time I log into a site which requires authentication, a Firefox dialog pops
up with the annoying warning: You are about to log into the site "adultsite.com"
with the username "foo."

Then I have to click OK or Cancel in order to proceed. Of course I always click OK.

The placeholders "adultsite.com" and "foo" always depend on the site I want to
log in.

How can I get rid of that annoying warning? I googled for an answer to this
question and asked in a forum, but I got no solution.

Maybe there is a preference in about:config where I can disable this warning?

There is a hidden pref. 

avoid confirm prompt if USER:PWD@domain is >= in size, see bug 232567

network.http.phishy-userpass-length

Use a value (integer) which is large enough. Default is 1.

Of course the length of USER:PWD <= value. :-)

Thank you, it works!

I added a line into user.js:
user_pref("network.http.phishy-userpass-length", 255);

It is really hidden, because about:config doesn't show that preference until I
write it into the user.js file and restart Firefox.

It should be very easy to change it (in a Options dialog) since many people must
be  annoyed by these pop ups.
