I am new to Firefox. I am using it because it works better on ebay.ca than internet explorer did. I am concerned about the security. I am not overly computer literate, but to unencrypted and the constant warnings cautions me that there may be a security problem. Thanks for your help.

Sorry, but I was uncertain how to tick the boxes below. Please advise me about this  security situation. I would like to know if this browser is safe for me to use. Thanks

I guess this is no Firefox Bug. When you login on this site www.deadzoom.com your login information are send over a normal http://www Site. Your Login Information is not encrypted and they are not using a encrypted https:// SSL-login (like the ebay-login https://signin.ebay.com).

So Firefox warns you that the information that you send when you login to deadzom  is not encrypted. This is not a Security Bug of Firefox, its more a Security Feature to inform you that you send unencrypted information.

AFAIK there is a check box on that dialog (Alert me whenever... etc.). Maybe you unintentionally put a check mark in that box?
