I've just updated my Firefox browser to the latest (52.0.1) and when it now warns me that the log in for Punt Road End is not secure. Anyone else with have this issue?
 
Nothing to worry about. Latest browsers will throw that warning if the site requires a login/password but doesn't have an SSL certificate. a https:// website means it has a cert and the password/login details would be encrypted.
 
No worries. After posting this, I found another of my usual haunts affected by this. It was annoying but I've found the setting in the about:config thing and disabled it.

TL:DR

Means that someone could "sniff" your login/password details as they are passed in clear text over the network. Given this is just a football forum it's unlikely anyone would go to the effort though.
