@librewolf - Feature Request:
I’m not quite knowledgeable enough to know the best solution within LibreWolf, but opening the URL network manager opens to trigger public wifi log in pages doesn’t work. Somewhere between that URL and the prompt from the free wifi to agree not to look at porn or whatever, it just breaks. I’m sure it has to do with the fact LibreWolf insists (and rightly so) on HTTPS.

    That’s what it seems to be. The question is, can captive portal support be turned back on?

      That was so long ago, haha, it’s governed by these:

      // disable captive portal
pref("network.captive-portal-service.enabled", false);
pref("captivedetect.canonicalURL", "");

      The first can be easily changed to true in ~/.librewolf/librewolf.overrides.cfg or equivalent. The 2nd can be overwritten as well, but whether you look at FF to see what it has by default, or you use any more private site of choice for Librewolf to try to connect to, to test captive-portal. So yes, one can overwrite anything as long as you know what you’re doing…

        Thank you. I’ll take a look after work today, and give it another spin the next time I go somewhere with a captive portal, probably this weekend.
