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?

(In reply to comment #0) > 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.

(In reply to comment #2) > avoid confirm prompt if USER:PWD@domain is >= in size, see bug 232567 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.
