The Firefox 23 release notes claim that mixed content pages are now blocked. The Mozilla Messaging Forum for Thunderbird support has mixed content, but it is not blocked. Why say that sites with mixed content are blocked if they are not? The URL: http://getsatisfaction.com/mozilla_messaging/topics

Chosen solution

Firefox has two prefs to control mixed content.

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

Only block_active_content is currently set to true by default. block_display_content is still false, so thing like images aren't blocked.

Possibly because firefox is only blocking Active Mixed content (ie. scripts), not Passive (ie. Images)
