Javascript Confirmation
 

Using MicroB on n800, and have started getting a "Javascript Confirmation" window saying information will be sent over unencrypted connection, even when using http rsther than https. Happens on all js forms. Just n irritant, but anyone know how to turn it off?

Re: Javascript Confirmation
 

please file a bug. I have seen this problem as well. Maybe I'll go file a bug...

Re: Javascript Confirmation
 

I entered bug # 1945 at bugs.maemo.org

Re: Javascript Confirmation
 

I'll confirm this on my n800/os2008 as well. Seems like it just started today...3 days since I started using '08.

Re: Javascript Confirmation
 

I've seen this too, but not sure its a bug... *shrugs*

Re: Javascript Confirmation
 

yeah...it is really just a security feature, but it needs a "don't ask again" checkbox for the user to disable it.

Re: Javascript Confirmation
 

I started seeing this today. Is there a way to stop it yet?

Re: Javascript Confirmation
 

I'm getting this "Javascript Confirmation" pop-up (warning about sending unencrypted messages over the internet) all the time again. Has anyone figured out yet how to disable it? C'mon, qwerty12, this looks like your kind of challenge!

Re: Javascript Confirmation
 

I usually see this dialog box after having closed the previous browser process due to the dreaded "Browser not responding".

When I launch the browser again, it now has that dialog poping up on certain pages until I reboot my N800.

Re: Javascript Confirmation
 

I think I once got rid of it by removing the browser settings in /home/user/.mozilla/, and maybe /home/user/.browser as well

Re: Javascript Confirmation
 

Hehe, iamthewalrus is right. I once got rid of this message (can't remember exactly how), by editing /home/user/.mozilla/microb/prefs.js and changing something like notify/warn to disabled.

Best bet is to open about:config and search for notify/warn/confirm/annoy/p!$$ :p and disable it. I'll check it out.

Re: Javascript Confirmation
 

You have to set dom.window.jsevents.policy to False in /home/user/.mozilla/microb/prefs.js.

Re: Javascript Confirmation
 

No such entry in my prefs.js file. Are you suggesting adding it?

Re: Javascript Confirmation
 

Sure enough, OSEmuTech, rebooting seems to have cured it.

I think mine started after running
to fix (successfully) a problem I had with Application Manager.

Re: Javascript Confirmation
 

I had it by default.

I suppose adding it could not harm you. Give it a try. If it does not work for you, just remove it.

Re: Javascript Confirmation
 

The combination of microBrowser instabiity and annoying javascript confirmation pop-up has pretty much rendered my new n810 unusable today.

For example, if i run about:config, load-applet goes to max, and the page will not load. I can kill the browser process (even though it only shows 3% load). But, then I am left with the javascript confirmation thing until the next reboot.

I'm running the latest firmware. I have about 60 mB free space.

Very annoying.... This bug needs fixing!

Re: Javascript Confirmation
 

I tried getting rid of it, but was mostly unsuccessful. I thought this line in Prefs.js may be it, but am not sure: "user_pref("security.warn_submit_insecure", true);". Even if that or another line could be changed, I fear that, like OSEmuTech said, the next browser process kill would bring it back.

Re: Javascript Confirmation
 

Pardon me in advance for this rant...

I started over an hour ago just wanting to use my n810 to do some simple surfing; thats what it was marketed for, right? But, it is not effective for that simple task. The microbrowser is horribly slow - documented in plenty of places on ITT. It also crashes. After it crashes one gets the dreaded 'javascript confirmation' annoyance. I have already set user_pref("dom.window.jsevents.policy", false); , that does not fix it. I waited the required 6 minutes for about:config dialog to come up, but there is no obvious setting to turn off the annoyance. (go bottomof post for more information)

My daughter was first fascinated with the n810. now she just uses it to play mahjong.

I'm getting sick of wasting my time with it, despite all the things it can do if one is willing to spend hours and hours with it.

Nokia, not the mamaeo community, needs to fix the microbrowser. Why is it asking too much for a 'dont ask again' checkbox?!?!?! arrrggghhh!

btw, I think I fixed with this setting in about:config security.warn_submit_insecure false

Re: Javascript Confirmation
 

I've never seen this message. What am I doing wrong?

Re: Javascript Confirmation
 

You're just lucky! I have no idea what starts it going nor what would kill it forever. It goes away sometimes for weeks, and then it returns, and sometimes even rebooting doesn't get rid of it.

Re: Javascript Confirmation
 

Again, there's no such thing as "microbrowser". It's MicroB. . . . :rolleyes:

Me, I've never once experienced the issue you're talking about. :\

By the way, if this issue is so "common" has anybody bothered to file a bug?

Re: Javascript Confirmation
 

Yes, someone has. And thanks for reminding me; I just voted for it.

Re: Javascript Confirmation
 

Hi;

Thanks General for correcting me re: MicroB. Correct terminology is essential for clear communication.

I've spent several hours working on this problem.Its very tedius, given the way MicroB constantly stalls, and the very annoying several minute delay waiting for the about:config dialog to come up.

When the browser stalls, top shows between 90 and 99% utilization. The following screen shot was taken while waiting 4 minutes, 33 seconds for a response from about:config :

1.) The problem does not require a MicroB crash as a trigger, but a crash or 'killing' a slow MicroB instance almost always induces it.
2.) When it occurs, tthe folowing is present in ~/.mozilla/microb/prefs.js:

user_pref("security.warn_entering_secure", true);
user_pref("security.warn_leaving_secure", true);
user_pref("security.warn_submit_insecure", true);

3.) Changing them to this will correct the problem until the next ocurrence:
user_pref("security.warn_entering_secure",false);
user_pref("security.warn_leaving_secure",false);
user_pref("security.warn_submit_insecure",false);

This makes me hopeful that if I can run some kind of a script to launch the MicroB, that will force those values in and then do the launch; I can use my n810 with going cRAzY until the bug is fixed. However, that is beyond my newbie skils...

Re: Javascript Confirmation
 

What if you create /home/user/.mozilla/microb/user.js
file and add your preferences there.
At least it works with Mozilla Firefox. If user.js exist
it precedes prefs.js. I don't know if MicroB supports user.js
