You can read more about the HTTP login on HTTPS sites feature here. This is a one-way-street feature, as the other way around is not supported. Starting with Firefox 49, Firefox improves the handling by allowing login information saved on the HTTP version of a page to become also available to the HTTPs version of a page. This meant that it would not match a saved HTTP login if the site was opened on a HTTPS connection, and vice versa. Mozilla announced the removal of Firefox Hello back in July, and Firefox 49 is the first stable version of the browser without the feature.įirefox Login manager supports HTTPS loginsįirefox's login manager used strict origin matching when it looked for a saved login for a website open in the browser.
Hello was turned into a system add-on, the first for Firefox. It removed the contacts feature from Hello which made it even less useful in the process. Mozilla was criticized by part of the userbase for integrating Hello in Firefox, and decided one year later to change the focus from communication to tab-sharing. The organization launched Firefox Hello as a new communication tool that worked inside the browser and without plugin or third-party software requirements. Mozilla made the decision to remove Firefox Hello from Firefox.
