Tips for eliminating the "Your connection is not secure" page in Firefox when using "Selenium with JavaScript"

My current project involves automating a secure URL using Selenium, WebdriverIO, and JavaScript. However, the page keeps redirecting to a "Your connection is not secure" message. I have attempted to address this issue by setting various preferences in the firefoxProfile, such as 'security.insecure_field_warning.contextual.enabled': false, but it has not resolved the problem.

Here is the configuration of my firefoxProfile:

firefoxProfile: {
    'media.navigator.permission.disabled': true,
    'media.peerconnection.video.h264_enabled': true,
    'media.navigator.streams.fake': true,
    'dom.webnotifications.enabled': false,
    'media.getusermedia.screensharing.enabled': true,
     setAcceptUntrustedCertificates: true,
     setAssumeUntrustedCertificateIssuer: true,
    'security.insecure_field_warning.contextual.enabled': false 
  },

Information about Selenium and Firefox versions being used:

  • "selenium-standalone": "~5.8.0"
  • Firefox version : 60.0 (64-bit)

Answer №1

If you want to eliminate the annoying "Your connection is not secure" page, follow these steps and make some adjustments to your Firefox profile:

  • Turn on the setAcceptUntrustedCertificates() flag by setting it to true
  • Activate the 
    setAssumeUntrustedCertificateIssuer()
    flag by setting it to true
  • Set the preference 
    "security.insecure_field_warning.contextual.enabled"
    to false

Your Firefox profile settings should look something like this:

firefoxProfile: {
    'setAcceptUntrustedCertificates': true,
    'setAssumeUntrustedCertificateIssuer': true,
  },

Additionally, remember to switch the Preference 

security.insecure_field_warning.contextual.enabled
to false

For more in-depth information, refer to this discussion on Firefox selenium webdriver gives “Insecure Connection”

Note: Make sure that you are using a compatible combination of Selenium Client, GeckoDriver, and Firefox Browser.
