For about a month now, everytime I sign in on Forum(and Vectric Forum) using latest Firefox, I get a pop-up box telling me it's an insecure connection?
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/insecure-password-warning-firefox?as=u&utm_source=inproduct
I've searched for a Shopbot and Vectric forum login that has the Firefox recommended "https://" header with no luck....but then computers aren't really my strong point.
Can anybody copy a secure link to the forums please?
Thanks,
scott

I think it started after one of the more recent updates to FF, something new to warn you when logging in to a site that isn't https and your login/password could be at risk. When logging into someplace like Amazon, it's an https site (not http like SB) and you don't get the popup warning.

Thanks Gene...That's the one I'm using.
Yeah Scott....Just wondering how important it is on a public forum like here and Vectric?
They DON'T recommend continuing using it, and if you DO, they say use a separate/strong password that nothing else uses.
I don't know enough to judge if I should just keep ignoring the warning like I've been doing?
Thanks,
scott

Think I'll just go back to designing "Bowties" that don't look like bowties:)
I wanted to cut a batch of Males today, but everything so far doesn't look good with 1 1/16"EM radius(small bowties)
This second triple espresso may help with some new thoughts:)
Trying for a William Morris inlay type feel From Greene Brother's stuff...unsuccessful so far...back to work:)
