I don't know if this is the right place to discuss things that are part of browser security policy. As @mpt stated, browser devs are evaluating the risk for people not aware of the issue. I doubt Ubuntu dev teams could do anything with that, this is not a technical failure that they could resolve, so we could close this bug. And be sure the day Ubuntu will loosen browsers security policies, it will make a big "bad buzz", and the all distro will be reported as "less protecting people" than distro XXX.
IMHO, even if this case (that happened to me too) is annoying, I prefer blaming the service provider rather than the browser. And once all browsers have been updated, the service provider will obviously become aware of the problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1485020 Title: firefox 40 shows a non-overrideable security error when talking to a captive portal To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/firefox/+bug/1485020/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
