This is not really important, but I would like to know how anyway.

I'm currently using the Firefox 1.0 PR browser, and I prefer knowing when data I send is encrypted or not. The dialog box that asks you if you want to continue when you send data unencrypted over the internet was accidentally turned off (I unchecked the checkbox while trying to hit the button).

I want to get it back, but I can't find the appropriate setting. I've looked through the Options, but haven't found it anywhere. Where can I turn it back on?

They removed a lot of options from the prefs panel that were in the Mozilla prefs panel because they wanted it to be easier to find stuff. A result is that some options are gone, particularly rarely-used things.

edit: In the non-hypeware browser Mozilla, the options are located under Privacy & Security -> SSL.
