Why am I all of a sudden since this March 2018 update. I go to a website and at first it is secure. However when I start to look at items for sale such as boots and such, it then switches over to unsecure. Says it is due to photos. And that they may not be correct and someone could be changing photos and such. How do I get this fixed. Now I cannot order anything online for fear that I am being hacked.

such as https://www.corballis-horsetrekking-therapeutic.com/gallery?lightbox=dataItem-ipbq351e5 shows a warning connection is not secure. parts of this page are not secure such as images.

Hi, yes it seems the URL is fine : https://www.virustotal.com/#/url/e0de2300ecc214ab2d20a3e71f9d717f4ba66c03fb62f86b26ab17940cefee87/detection I have no issue with the site URL provided in Private Browsing.

Very messy thing to fix on a mac or Linux. It could be the Light Box Code used to display the pics.

See if this guides you in any way to adjust permissions please : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/mixed-content-blocking-firefox

Hi FireBunny1, I hope the above link on "mixed content" is helpful.

Firefox allows HTTPS (secure) pages to load HTTP (insecure) images because they present a low risk. Higher risk content on HTTP addresses is not allowed in HTTPS pages.

I actually don't see that message on the gallery you mentioned. Sometimes an image that is retrieved from Firefox's cache will trigger a mixed content warning. Try clearing Firefox's cache and then visit the page again, to eliminate that issue. This article has the steps: How to clear the Firefox cache.

Hi, off topic but your Flash 17.0 r0 is a security risk in magnitudes. Please update to Flash Player Version: 28.0.0.161 Current Version https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/ Step 1: Select Operating System Step 2: Select A Version (Firefox, . . . .) Note: Other software is offered in the download. <Windows Only>
