I'm getting mixed content not blocked / not secure icon .A grey lock with an orange triangle when in my email. Help! What do I do??
Just noticed last night when I'm in my comcast emails the grey lock with orange triangle up at the top. ( please bear with me - I'm not computer literate!) I read this means content not secure but what do i do to secure it? i just did the " refresh firefox" but that didn't help.
Scared to go back into my email account now.

Oh and i just noticed this same icon pops up when I look at a listing on Craigslist too.

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

You can contact the website and point them to this article;
You can open the Web Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer;Ctrl+Shift+K) and check the Net log for lines with a red vertical bar and a mixed content warning icon or search for 'mixed'. If necessary clear the log and reload the page to get an updated log.
Hi Cor el :
How do i clear the log? Told ya I was a computer dummy!! ha ha
Or do I need to even worry about it?
It wasn't the one with the red line through it - it was just the grey lock and the orange triangle with the exclamation in it.
You should find a Clear button in the bottom right corner of the Network Monitor or as the last button on the selection toolbar at the top in the Web Console.
At the bottom of the window a row of buttons enables you to filter requests by the content type of the response: <image> At the far right of this row is a button labeled "Clear": as you might guess, this enables you to clear the network request list.
