What Missing SSL Information Causes It to Get Flagged?

What causes Firefox to flag a website as not supplying ownership information? I recently compared the SSL certificate currently in use here: https://signin.telenav.com/

vs. the certificate currently in use by: https://support.mozilla.org/

Both of the are issued by the same root Certificate Authority, DigiCert. The main difference is that the Mozilla website uses an EV class 2 certificate and the telenav site uses a regular class 2 certificate. However, both of them have all of their fields field out for website, owner, and address.

Unless I missed something, it seems misleading to flag a website as not providing ownership information.

I'm getting a warning "Firefox has blocked content that isn't secure".

There is mixed active content and mixed passive content on the page as you can see by the shield icon and the exclamation mark in the location bar instead of the padlock that you would normally see. So it is possible that the page isn't meant to be opened via a secure https or that the site creator hasn't taken the trouble to make sure that all content comes via a secure connection

If there is mixed passive content (e.g. images) then Firefox shows an exclamation mark instead of "Site Identity Button" (globe/padlock) on the location bar.

You can see the mixed content as red text in the Web Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer).
