Fx Nightly treats plain HTTP pages with pw form as insecure

[barbaz]

Saw this link on mozillaZine and thought it'd be worth noting here:
https://ma.ttias.be/firefox-nightly-sta ... -insecure/
I think this is good change. Will SeaMonkey inherit this (or port it)?


(Obviously, Giorgio's sites will be unaffected.)

Yes, Mozilla now opting to mark any HTTP page that transmits passwords as insecure. It follows a move by Google to mark any HTTPS site that has ANY HTTP content as insecure as well by removing its lock icon. Before it would show yellow partial but they decided that was too confusing and hurt the site owners, so they just now display them with the same icon as HTTP, no harm no foul they say, that way the site has a chance to clean up their HTTPS mix without looking like the bad guys and the users go on with their lives as they normally do with nothing to confuse them. Pros and Cons to all of their collective approaches.
