Question:I love FF, but this message is driving me up the wall.
I can kinda understand it if you're on a page where you've entered credit card information, but something this message pops up on normal sites that aren't even selling anything.
Is there anyway to turn this off?
Answers:
I understand that the postdata popup is very annoying, in fact there's a bug report regarding this popup asking mozilla to disable the popup or at least replace the popup with something ,that apparently makes more sense to the ones who don't know what postdata is. The bug report is here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cg...
The reason for this popup could be poor programming of the offending page by the webmaster. Another reason could be that the particular page isn't designed to be loaded from the cache, it requires you to submit the info to the page again.
Anyways, you can disable the postdata popup. Some guy created the patch for it. get it from here: http://www.youfucktard.com/blog/category...
Just download the zip file for your version of firefox. you'll also find the instructions to patch your FF in it. If its a loader(like for v2.0.0.1), you'll have to load it everytime before starting firefox. Anyways, after you unzip the file, just place the patch in the installation directory of FF. i.e. \program files\mozilla firefox.
And open the patch file and apply the patch with firefox NOT running. Now startup firefox.
However, i personally don't suggest you to disable this popup unless you're really desperate to.
Go into FireFox Security options and turn the notification off. I don't have my pc with me right now but its in the Tools, options, i think.
EDIT: There's a patch for that here : http://www.youfucktard.com/blog/category...
>>>I don't know if it works or not but it's worth a try.
This usually happens when you use the Back button to return to a page that previously submitted data. Obviously, if you can avoid using the Back button, the problem will go away with it.
And remember, the browser hasn't a clue as to how sensitive the data is, so it's playing it safe.
