Does anyone know how to disable Firefox's security warning:
Although this page is encrypted, the information you have entered is to be sent over an unencrypted connection and could easily be read by a third party.
Are you sure you want to continue sending this information?
I have set all security.warn to false in about:config. I still get the annoying pop-up.
Thanks for the help.

Unfortunately, as of 12.x it still can't be disabled.
You can read a years-long argument here on bugzilla about this very issue. Log in and upvote it!
I have found complaints about this message going back at least six years. This is regularly reported on bugzilla and through the other Mozilla support sites and is a popular question on many other support forums. The main Moz devs apparently feel it is a critical security feature that should not be disabled. Personally I find it very annoying, I hit MSDN via Google searches all day long and I have to click through that stupid warning every time. If you see it a lot, it quickly becomes one of those warnings you automatically ignore which makes the "mandatory security feature" argument rather unconvincing.

At least as of Firefox 16.x (and possibly before), the following strategy will disable the security warning:
In about:config, change the value of security.warn_viewing_mixed from true to false.
Also, the dialog box referenced in the question has a checkbox that says "Alert me whenever I'm about to view an encrypted page that contains some unencrypted information." You can simply uncheck that box the next time you encounter it, which will accomplish the same thing as manually changing the setting in about:config.

For me the below code handles the security pop up
IAlert alert = driver.switchto().alert();
alert.acccept();
Thanks

IDK what changed but suddenly, everytime I download an ics file my Apple Calendar opens and imports the file. I don't want it to do this but can't figure out what setting to change.
I'm running Yosemite.
I'm running High Sierra, though I don't recall the option having changed where it can be found.
I'm going to assume that you're using Safari web browser, because that's where the setting is that allows MacOS to automatically open certain file types once they've been downloaded by Safari.
Open Safari preferences by going to the Safari menu item and clicking Preferences..., or by pressing ⌘, (that's a comma) from within a Safari window.
If it's not already displayed as the initial pane, click on General in the toolbar of the preferences dialog, and you'll see something like this:
At the bottom, there's a checkbox that you can uncheck. Bear in mind that, doing so, will also stop other files you download from opening automatically. So, for example, if you're used to .zip archives being extracted automatically for you, you'll now have to do this manually by double-clicking the .zip file (not too hard).

DNS Unlocker Adware not getting removed from firefox with any tool or manually [closed]

This virus is giving me a hard time. It is showing popups and ads on my firefox. There is no program with this name or similar in:
1. Installed program list in windows 10
2. Not in firefox add ons
It is only showing ads in firefox.
I have tried:
1. Avira Antivirus free
2. Malwarebytes
3. AdwCleaner
4. Hitman pro
But none of these detected it.
An example of ad it is showing.
Please help.
It looks like you have downloaded some MalWare crap. See
Download.com and Others Bundle Superfish-Style HTTPS Breaking Adware.
It may help you in your situation.
I also encountered DNS Unlocker pop-up ads a month ago and I found out that "DNS Unlocker" had modified my DNS settings. In fact, I googled on the web and found a post mentioned repairing DNS settings and it did the trick.
The path to do this follows:
Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center >
Change Adapter Settings.
Right-click your active internet connection (usually Wi-Fi since
everyone uses that, unless your using a desktop) and click
properties.
Now under the Networking tab, scroll down until you find Internet
Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4). Highlight that then click on
properties. Both options in this windows should be automatic. The
first option should be set to "Obtain an IP address automatically"
and the second should be set to "Obtain DNS server address
automatically!".
If your computer belongs to a company or you actually have a custom
DNS, then this would not apply to you. Once you are done, click "OK"
and close the windows. Now go back into Chrome and reset your
settings one more time and boom, it should work just fine.

currently receiving the following error withiin google play under store listing:
Please check the languages marked above for errors.
no matter what language i select this error shows and i am unable to update the store.. How to fix this?
Problem is caused by a mandatory feature graphic, error code is misleading..
What Tommo said. Apparently it is related to the recent changes to Google Play where a Featured image is required when making any changes to your listing.
Beginning August 31, 2014, you will be required to submit a Feature
Graphic to update your app or Store Listing."
https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/6066610
Ran into a similar issue today. Turns out, the promo video needs to include "http", "www" will show this misleading validation message.
if anyone getting this error "Some languages have errors" in the main store listing section on the google play console while publishing the app. Then, here is what I did to solve my issue.
Click on "manage translation" then click on "Manage your own translations". Next, remove all the languages on the "language" column and click "apply".
I hope this should solve your error problem.
Okay I have now sorted this. You have to upload a separate short description and Feature Graphic for EACH language that your app supports, otherwise it won't be accepted. Even if the description and graphic are the same, you have to re-upload for each language.
After uploading the feature graphic, the error was still displayed. You have to click save and publish to clear the error.
I too faced the same issue. Added the below to get it fixed.
Content Rating
Short Description of the app
Featured Image of 1024*500
Above fields were added later and are mandatory. Post this, just re-submitted the app and it was live again. :)
Basically you will have to upload all the sections marked ( * ) with proper dimensions and it will solve the issue.

Damsel In reCaptcha Distress. Please Help? [closed]

For 9 months, I've been having reCaptcha problems. Craigslist is the main problem. It sometimes happens in Hotmail too. Anytime I go to post or respond to a CL ad that requires Image Verification (recaptcha), neither the challenge words or the box to type the words into pops up. Refreshing does not help. Hitting "new image" or "audio words" does nothing.
I end up forfeiting placing or responding to certain ads. As you might imagine, CL's Help Forums has amounted to no answers whatsoever. Some suggested I go to Google reCaptcha links. That did not help because anything Google-related was blocked even though in the Toolbar Google was activated. Both posters and staff alike venture all manner of solutions, none of which actually helped. It's mainly guesswork.
Many told me it was a scripting error and to disable javascript. Others claimed it was Norton (somehow) blocking any sites using reCaptcha. Norton comes with my Comcast X-Finity account. I could be wrong but I didn't see anything specific in Norton that might be blocking reCaptcha imaging. One person even swore it's a simple as fully rebooting the modem. Nope. Another said try another browser. I downloaded Mozilla Firefox. Firefox works great for everything but reCaptcha. I've even went to other tech sites. Again, no answers. 9 months and not one person or site can tell me how come CL's reCaptcha image words challenge won't pop up or how to fix it. If fixing it involves typing in code, I have no idea how to do that.
Surely there must be a fix for this as reCaptcha isn't rocket science. As specific as I've been seeking help, you'd think there'd be a solution?
Would someone kindly help?
"That did not help because anything Google-related was blocked" -- there's your problem. reCAPTCHA served from Google servers, so if you can't access anything Google-related, you can't access reCAPTCHA.

Recover Firefox tabs after accidentally closing the window without saving the session [closed]

I've gradually come to fully rely on Firefox's ability to recover my tabs after any kind of crash. That faith was not entirely ill-founded but what I didn't have a contingency plan for was accidentally closing the Firefox window and saying not to save the session. That just happened when my dad borrowed my laptop to check his email. Oy.
Of course the full browser history is there but the dozens of tabs I had open are lost in a massive sea. I ran "uptime" to see the time of my last reboot and looked for a cluster of URLs all opened around that time, but either I'm missing it, or the "last visited" time doesn't work that way. In any case, I thought others might know a better way to recover the tabs, or have hacked up something to fish them out of Firefox's history or something.
(The lesson for the future of course is to just save everything to delicious (or wherever) and not rely on your browser state! I'd also be interested to hear what systems others use to deal with this preventively.)
ADDED: I know prima facie this seems insoluble (after all, I, or my dad, explicitly told Firefox not to save the tabs) but as an example of something that could be done (and perhaps this qualifies this question as programming related after all)...
If Firefox stored both when the the URL was opened and when it was closed then you could extract your tabs from your history by erasing the very recent history and then fetching the URLs that were opened but never closed. So...
The Real Question
Does there exist an algorithm that can infer the list of open tabs based on the following inputs:
list of URLs and associated fields in the browser history
the time of the fateful dismissing of the Firefox session.
If anyone can show that that's possible, I'll code it up and make it available as an answer here.
There are several add-ons that deal with "sessions" in Firefox. But still, if you close it and say NOT TO SAVE the session, then it's exactly what it's going to do.
I really don't see what else can be done here.
