[Bug 1485020] Re: firefox 40 shows a non-overrideable security error when talking to a captive portal

[Joachim R.]

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.
