[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1180469] Re: Firefox does not use HTTPS by default
I agree SSL/TLS by default would be grand, but there are probably several reasons why it's not a good idea. You can get the functionality you're looking for with the EFF's HTTPS Everywhere extension for Firefox and Chrome/Chromium: https://www.eff.org/https-everywhere -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1180469 Title: Firefox does not use HTTPS by default Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Firefox should use HTTPS by default or at least allow a user to make that choice.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1180469] Re: Firefox does not use HTTPS by default
Can you be a little bit more specific? Firefox will use https whenever you tell it to (by navigating to a https URL), or whenever the server tells it to (either via a redirect from a http resource to a https resource, or if the server supports the HSTS protocol; in which case Firefox will only connect to that resource via https for whatever time was specified in the HSTS policy). Searching in Google from the searchbar in Firefox uses https by default. And when I log in to Google, it automatically redirects me to their https endpoint (the redirect is done by Google. This is not Firefox policy). I'm not sure what problem you're having with Google, because the information you've supplied is quite vague. ** Changed in: firefox (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete ** Information type changed from Private Security to Public -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1180469 Title: Firefox does not use HTTPS by default Status in “firefox” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Firefox should use HTTPS by default or at least allow a user to make that choice.
