Firefox security warnings options

[cmdrdredd]

I'm getting some security warnings when downloading roms from androidfilehost.com. Basically it is telling me the page was secure but it's sending my request over a non secure connection. In past versions of Firefox there was a setting in the security options that allowed you to selectively disable these warnings. That is gone and about:config doesn't show any options for security warnings that I could find. Chrome doesn't do this, but chrome has other annoyances with fonts so I am giving Firefox a try. Unfortunately this is annoying enough I'm considering going back.

How do I disable the annoying popup boxes? Below is a picture of what I'm seeing.

Weird site. Copying the download link and opening in a new Window gives a "404 Not Found" error. It seems to pass Javascript from the source page (https) to the destination link (http), which is unnecessary. I'm guessing they use this trick to prevent "hot linking", and haven't tested their page on Firefox.

Yet the problem is not addressed. You used to be able to turn these warnings off and never see them. Firefox now seems to have removed that option entirely. It has nothing to do with testing with firefox when other browsers don't give me these warnings and firefox used to have the option to remove the warnings.

I don't care how the page works, I care about how to remove the warnings that used to be removeable by the user and are not present in other browsers. That is a firefox problem.

Different strokes for different folks I guess.

The option was removed.

That having been said, using HTTP POST to initiate a file download like that is highly unorthodox.
