Here's the instructions to disable this notification from FireFox.

"There is a hidden preference to turn off the warnings if they really annoy you and you think they'll never be of value.



(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful.

(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste "insec" and pause while the list is filtered

(3) Double-click the security.insecure_field_warning.contextual.enabled preference to switch the value from true to false



(4) Assume this login could be easily stolen and avoid re-using it on important sites

So this becomes even more interesting. I did the config: thing and did the search and this is what came up:

I get that warning when I log on as I type my user name. I too ignore it.

I stay logged in all the time and only have to log in again if admin has been working on the system.

Not sure if the windows version is the same, I run Linux ;) , but in the upper left corner, next to the back arrow, there is a lower case "i" in a circle (information).

Clicking on the "i" opens this pop up window.
