    [Firefox] howto disable at download 'Potential Security Risk' warning


    hi there, latest Firefox update to v92.0b2 (64-bit) Win brought back the utterly annoying warning -- which is now embedded in the download window with an !-mark -- 'Potential Security Risk' when attempting to download : i choose to download, and yes, as an adult i decided to download before i clicked download [what u want me to do ? how often do i need to click and select, whatever, before things get done ? perhaps a swiss bank account verification once one decided to down from a putative, if any at all, so-called risky destination or connection ?] how often does one have to click to get a result from FF ? ofc there are security considerations BUT them i decided upon when configuring FF like logging into my FF account : tho logged in for hrs from same ip, browser, u name it, logging out, then logging in again it asks for an additional [eg eMail] verification after less then 2min since last being logged in ? come again ? what secrity measure is that ? and, if one [from FF/Mozila/whomsoever] is that keen on thoroughly educating -- to put it very politely -- us users, why is it that for instance in my account > manage devices shows more than 3 yrs old devices i can't sign out from, apart from having to select each single one of them instead of providing an option to sign-out from all old ones in one go ? security concern over here, security deficit over there -- how to balance ? give ppl options rather than forcing some practise/workflow on them an update should widen/simplify the spectrum of options, it shouldn't eliminate and restrict them HOW to DISABLE the potential security risk WARNING ? in previous FF versions it worked by switching various flags & values via about:config but it doesn't hold any longer btw. posted this also to reddit /firefox but obviously FF-fans & whomsoever not like it a bit. *tia* {thanks in advance} cheers

    :)

    (firefox) Disabling https checks

    Firefox has added the warning for your own protection. And no there isn't an on/off switch for it either. Sorry that's the way it is.
    I suggest using a different browser if you don't want the nag screen Firefox gives.
