When I visit one particular site, I get a yellow ! over my lock. I never got this before. All other sites are fine. I am hesitant to use this site. What do I do to correct this...contact store for the site or is this a Firefox issue with this site? How do I fix this?

Hi, here is an explanation of the icons in the Site Identity button - How do I tell if my connection to a website is secure?.

If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.

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

You can check the Web Console (Firefox menu button or Tools > Web Developer) for messages referring to mixed to see what content this is about.
