Installed cert had usual IE issue on any images outside folder - all were fixed and IE is now showing lock and valid cert - so is the FF 3.x version still on one of my machines - but on FF 10.x blue favicon shows for a second a disappears - https is still active - but message indicates only partially secured because something loads before SSL active

Can you post a link to a secure page that gives a broken padlock?

I decided to systematically rebuild the secure folder and found that my default CSS file in my secure folder was the culprit. All CSS, JS, Functions, etc are under the secure folder. The CSS had references to images but again all in an assets folder under the secure folder. I actually don't even use any of these images. I removed them 1 by 1 without a resolution but then decided to remove them all along with the positioning CSS for them and problem solved. I would like to know why but they were issues, but for this site, i don't need them. I wonder about cache issues (FF always gets me on cache) or that the images originally were in the root assets folder. THANKS
