Just a heads up for those of you who come to the forum main page via a saved bookmark/favourite or icon.
The forum main page is now the one below so please change your bookmark/favourites.
For those of you who may not know, using https in front of the forum address instead of http means that all info between this website and your browser is now encrypted.
and also for those who may not know, an excellent add-on called HTTPS Everywhere will help you on this matter.
Interestingly my bookmark still says http://forum.piriform.com but firefox 46.0.1 automaticaly connects to https://forum.piriform.com when I select the bookmark.
I've just tested and it does this with other https:// websites as well, even though my bookmarks for them still say http://
And no, I don't have the Https Everywhere add-on installed.
I guess mozilla must have incorporated it as standard.
I'll change the bokmark(s) anyway, but just thought that I'd mention this.
EDIT
Apparently its a setting that has been in FF for some time now.
About:config, browser.urlbar.autofill = true

It does. Perhaps worth changing the bookmark anyways.
@nukecad,
thanks for the heads up.
I removed HTTPS Everywhere and yep, if there is a HTTPS equivalent, then FF will take it.
That's FF down to only 1 add-on, I'm happy with that.
Presume this is why I've been getting randomly logged out the last day or two

That's been happening before they implemented HTTPS.

Not to me it hasn't, but the last couple of days I'm getting logged out on average every second or third visit
I noticed it before the HTTPS change when I'd have a new browser tab, or new browser window open - primarily when dealing with spammers.
