The first time you visit a secure site, you will see this dialog: You have requested an encrypted page. The web site has identified itself correctly, and information you see or enter on this page can't easily be read by a third party. [x] Alert me whenever... [OK] This dialog has the confusing title of "Security Warning". Furthermore, it looks very similar to several other dialogs, such as the dialog for leaving an encrypted page and the dialog for submitting information over an insecure connection. It should be differentiated from the other dialogs, perhaps by including a glowing "secure" lock icon in this dialog and a slashed- out "insecure" lock icon in the others. Alternatively, this dialog could be removed.

Anyone know why we'd put up an alert in this scenario, especially such a scary one?

I agree - "Security Warning" is definitely misleading; perhaps the title could be changed to "Security Information" or similar? Also, I like the idea of a quick visual way to tell this apart from the very similar-looking one saying "You are leaving a secure site".

uid is being phased out.

FYI: IE6 words the dialog when entering or leaving a secure site "Security Alert". Navigator 4.9 states "Security Information". Mozilla states "Security Warning". cc cotter Since this dialog in some form is not going away, removing "blocks 119114"

Mass reassign ssaux bugs to nobody

use about:config to set security.warn_entering_secure to true

This bug is no longer valid because this warning no longer exists per Bug 799009. Should it be RESOLVED WONTFIX or RESOLVED INVALID?
