Firefox 52 Insecure Connection Fix

Last night my Firefox Browser updated, but it asked me a question about allowing the update before proceeding, which I thought was odd, but continued, as it's Firefox. So now I'm on version 52 and I keep seeing a connection error:

enter image description here

I need to log into my PHPMyAdmin on Localhost but see this message first. How do I fix it?

This is a security feature in new versions of Firefox.

There is actually no error, this just warns you that the login information will be sent over a non-encrypted channel.

You can ignore this warning and logon nevertheless. This is okay, when working with logins on your own computer or when working with logins in your own private local network.

When the login form is on a server in the internet or some other public or workplace network, make sure to enable and use https for the site so that login information is not sent without encryption.

Information by Mozilla

You can disable this feature in Firefox the following way (NOT advised!):

  1. Enter about:config into the address field.
  2. Conform the warning that you want to change settings
  3. Enter security.insecure_field_warning.contextual.enabled into the Search field
  4. Double click the shown entry security.insecure_field_warning.contextual.enabled to set it to false.
