Moderators hazelnut Posted May 28, 2016 Moderators Share Posted May 28, 2016 Just a heads up for those of you who come to the forum main page via a saved bookmark/favourite or icon. The forum main page is now the one below so please change your bookmark/favourites. https://forum.piriform.com/ For those of you who may not know, using https in front of the forum address instead of http means that all info between this website and your browser is now encrypted.

Moderators mta Posted May 28, 2016 Moderators Share Posted May 28, 2016 and also for those who may not know, an excellent add-on called HTTPS Everywhere will help you on this matter. Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data. You control the last.

Moderators nukecad Posted May 28, 2016 Moderators Share Posted May 28, 2016 Interestingly my bookmark still says http://forum.piriform.com but firefox 46.0.1 automaticaly connects to https://forum.piriform.com when I select the bookmark. I've just tested and it does this with other https:// websites as well, even though my bookmarks for them still say http:// And no, I don't have the Https Everywhere add-on installed. I guess mozilla must have incorporated it as standard. I'll change the bokmark(s) anyway, but just thought that I'd mention this. EDIT Apparently its a setting that has been in FF for some time now. About:config, browser.urlbar.autofill = true *** Out of Beer Error ->->-> Recovering Memory *** Worried about 'Tracking Files'? Worried about why some files come back after cleaning?

Moderators Andavari Posted May 28, 2016 Moderators Share Posted May 28, 2016 Interestingly my bookmark still says http://forum.piriform.com but firefox 46.0.1 automaticaly connects to https://forum.piriform.com when I select the bookmark. It does. Perhaps worth changing the bookmark anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators mta Posted May 28, 2016 Moderators Share Posted May 28, 2016 @nukecad, thanks for the heads up. I removed HTTPS Everywhere and yep, if there is a HTTPS equivalent, then FF will take it. That's FF down to only 1 add-on, I'm happy with that. Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data.

JDPower Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Presume this is why I've been getting randomly logged out the last day or two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDPower Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 That's been happening before they implemented HTTPS. Not to me it hasn't, but the last couple of days I'm getting logged out on average every second or third visit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted May 30, 2016 Moderators Share Posted May 30, 2016 I noticed it before the HTTPS change when I'd have a new browser tab, or new browser window open - primarily when dealing with spammers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
