Firefox blocks sites that have mixed http/https content. I appreciate the fact that Firefox is looking out for my safety, but it is sometimes a bit too helpful. There is the option to temporarily disable the blocking, but there is no way to permanently disable the blocking for any given site. I understand that the addition of such a feature has been under consideration for many years; it would be tremendous if this were actually implemented.

Hi, I would suggest if it is possible to change your user name on this as you are using your email address as your user name in a public forum for bots and spammers to see.

Have you tried this : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/mixed-content-blocking-firefox

There is the option to "Disable protection for now", but this selection is not remembered from one session to the next. I'd like to be able to permanently disable the protection for a given site.

P.S. I don't see any option to change my user ID.

What kind of mixed content is this about (mixed active content like JS files or mixed passive content like images)?

Did you modify any of the mixed content prefs?

  • security.mixed_content.block_active_content
  • security.mixed_content.block_display_content

You can check the Web Console for more detail.

Note that you can only change the display name yourself you will have to contact a site administrator to change the user name.

You can post a "Want to change my user name" request on the SUMO community discussions forum if you want to change the username. Add [Attn: Admin] at the start of the thread title.

By default, Firefox allows HTTP images on HTTPS sites, since they pose a low privacy threat, and blocks mixed "active" content like scripts, which pose a higher privacy threat.

Is this problem on a site that was designed for use over HTTPS? A site that was designed only for HTTP is likely to have more issues with hard-coded HTTP URLs.

The site in question is an internal company website. So, man-in-the middle attacks are not a practical threat in this case. It would be great to have some mechanism for permanently suppressing these errors for specified domains.
