If the line exists, copy and paste the IgnoreCaptivePortal line below it. If it doesn't exist, copy/paste both lines. Once that's done, save the file and optionally reboot.

Code:
[FeatureSettings]
IgnoreCaptivePortal=true
Thanks for the tip David.
Though even after addind this line, the browser still asks me to connect to a network before I can access it. I checked on this list of configuration options page and it would seem IgnoreCaptivePortal is not working since FW 4.15 since "official support" would have been added since then.

I'm on latest 4.30.18838 and cannot find the option anywhere in the settings or developer options. Any idea where it might be hiding?

Thanks
