I use Firefox and it has been telling me for about a month that the site is "insecure":
When I go to type in my name and password, it reads: "This connection is not secure. Logins entered here could be compromised. Learn More"
This then goes on to state that "if you enter your password it could be stolen by eavesdroppers and attackers".
It suggests the sites many not be configured properly? Anyone else having similar messages? I do not get this on any other sites I visit.

Feeling Insecure
I, too, get this message. It started happening when I updated to (beta) FF/52 some months ago. I think it has a lot to do with handling all the devices you have synced together. I have a desktop, laptop, iPad Mini, and smartphone that all use Firefox. I just ignore the message and I've experienced no problems. However, I do, on occasion, create a new password for some sites in question and the message seems to go away.Long Run wrote:I use Firefox and it has been telling me for about a month that the site is "insecure":

I accept it as just another security feature that's been developed to thwart hackers and scammers. It's surely not enough to give up on FF which has served me well for over a decade.

Whatever happened to Netscape.
I liked Netscape.

Re: Feeling insecure
Maybe it's a mobile version thing, but I just noticed on my laptop using Chrome that I'm getting the 'not secure' message in the address bar.
For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

Chrome says that in the address bar for any non-SSL address (i.e. begins with http:// rather than https://)

Re: Feeling insecure
Have you tried using Firefox with the Google browser rather than with Chrome. I dumped Chrome years ago due to a lot of unfounded messages and warnings.Chrome says that in the address bar for any non-SSL address (i.e. begins with http:// rather than https://)

Re: Feeling insecure
It's not an unfounded warning. A site that is not https is not secure for purposes of entering credit card numbers or other personal data. That is why Secure Socket Layer exists.
