display an insecure content on a secure page

more options

I had my application running on the Firefox earlier version where the an insecure content loaded over http from my server was being displayed on my webpage which is on https.

But with the latest versions of firefox this solution is no more working. For example the below i have a pic loaded from my server path say http://10.16.15.2:9181/pic/Pic?id=41234 .Now i need this to be displayed on my secure web page application, but the firefox browser is automatically converting to a https path. See the output from the debugger console

" Mixed Content: Upgrading insecure display request ‘http://10.16.15.2:9181/pic/Pic?id=41234’ to use ‘https’ "

Kindly suggest a way to disable this auto conversion in the latest versions of firefox, as i have no option to update the front-end or back-end of my application.

Thanks for your help in advance

Whom is the host of your services? I think that comes from your host services and the browser uses what it's given. Check with your hosts services about the http switching.

You can change a setting for your Firefox; of course, this will not change how the site operates.

Unfortunately, the setting is global, not site-specific, so you won't get the benefit of the change on other sites. Here's how:

(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button accepting the risk.

More info on about:config: Configuration Editor for Firefox. The moderators would like us to remind you that changes made through this back door aren't fully supported and aren't guaranteed to continue working in the future.

(2) In the search box in the page, type or paste upgrade_display_content and pause while the list is filtered. Firefox should display multiple preferences.

(3) To toggle a preference from true to false, double-click it. You might only need to change security.mixed_content.upgrade_display_content.image and continue to require a secure connection for audio and video.
