AFAIK and contrary to what others have said, there's no plan to enable this in a release version of Firefox anytime soon. There are too many affected sites and most average users would probably just start ignoring the crossed out lock or get scared and use some other browser.
- K0nserv 11y agoHmm I was under the impression that since it's currently in Aurora it's likely to be in the end release? Do you have a source on this?
- dao- 11y agoIt's in dev edition / aurora because those aren't "release" builds, and the security.insecure_password.ui.enabled default value depends on a RELEASE_BUILD ifdef. So no, it won't automatically be enabled when current aurora moves to beta.
- K0nserv 11y agoI was under the impression that it worked like an Alpha and the intention is for features in it to eventually end up in stable unless critical problems are found in them?
- dao- 11y agoThis is usually true but not in this case. Or if you want to put it this way, the anticipated critical problem is that this UI would confuse average end users and thus we won't enable it for them.
- K0nserv 11y agoInteresting, is there any public discussion on this? I didn't find anything like it when I was researching the blog post.
- dao- 11y agohttps://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1188121 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1188121 appears to be the main tracking bug for this feature. It says "... for developers" in its summary.
