Discrepancy or error in Firefox documentation regarding mixed content

While trying to make a purchase, I noticed that Firefox flagged the web page with insecure mixed content. However, the browser info contradicts the official documentation.
The browser states, "Information you submit could be viewed by others (like passwords, messages, credit cards, etc.). Your connection is not private and information you share with the site could be viewed by others."
Yet according to the documentation, the orange triangle icon indicates passive mixed content. It states, "Attackers may be able to manipulate parts of the page like displaying misleading or inappropriate content, but they should not be able to steal your personal data from the site."
This seems like a contradiction. The browser is telling us that our information could be compromised, while the documentation states that attackers should not be able to access personal data.
Can you please clarify which one is correct? Also, if the browser is misleading, it should be corrected in a future update. If the problem is with the documentation, it should be updated.
BTW, I noticed that the website had Google Analytics objects embedded. Could that be the source of the insecure HTTP content?
Can websites with passive mixed media content be trusted with sensitive data?

The above link tells me that, if I have the 'AVG Internet Security' software this problem would occur. But I do not have this software on my computer but rather the G-Data Internet Security. When I followed the steps as outlined on your Internet site, the result is the same afterwords. As soon as I restart Firefox, the message pops up again and again that I should enter my master password. This only occurs after I installed the latest Firefox (71.0, 32-bit).

Hello Team, Recently after our Firefox browsers updated to version 69.0.3 (64-bit), we are unable to open some of our internal sites - the error received is Secure Connection Failed - PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR. With other browsers like Chrome or Edge the issue is not presented - only with Mozilla. We tried creating new profile in Mozilla, checked the SSL and TLS settings of Mozilla also. Can you help us troubleshooting this ? Screenshot attached.

I am a NYT subscriber but can no longer access content behind the paywall on FireFox. Yet, it works fine on Chrome and Edge. When I am on the NYT homepage, it shows that I am logged in. When I click on an article on the home page, it loads it but a pop-up makes it blurry and says that I need to be a subscriber to see it. Yet, the top of the page shows that I am still logged as a subscriber. The problems occurs on my two notebooks. Both are running Windows 10. One has Norton as antivirus, the other has Windows Defender. To troubleshoot, I have turned off all FireFox "Content Blocking" and have cleaned up cookies and browsing history (twice), but it has not cleared the problem. I have reinstalled FireFox twice. I am also a subscriber to the Washington Post, and I have no problem reading it.

I'm trying to add my own certifcate so i can get SSL's with MAMP Pro working.
I get this error message "This personal certificate can't be installed because you do not own the corresponding private key which was created when the certificate was requested."
The key was created by MAMP.
Thanks

When I access a web site that requires client certificate - and I have several different ones, including those on hardware tokens - the prompt/popup is malformed. All the certificates are listed HORIZONTALLY, making it impossible to scroll through them and select the correct one. I can walk through the available ones, highlighting them via Up- and Down-arrows, but that does not change the real selection, and the displayed certificate remains to be the first one.
Automatic certificate selection does not work for me, because the site in question requires Email certificate instead of Authentication certificate.

i have set up a master password, which get prompted when I start Firefox, but when I type in the password Firefox adds 4 characters before my typed characters. These 4 characters do not show up in the password box. If you enter a blank box - four dots appear. So I spend ages trying to get my password logged correctly. By this time Firefox brings up a no connection error message! I have tried changing the password but this has no effect. I seem to recall Firefox doing this a while back but it was sorted by next update. Any advise would be gratefully recieved as it driving me nuts now!

1. Every time I was the browser I get a pop up requesting my master password. 2. I have chosen the option to eliminate the master password but the system isn't recognizing my password so I can not accomplish this. 3. I try to reset my master password using copying and pasting "chrome://pippki/content/resetpassword.xul" without the quotation marks of course. I press Enter but no reset page ever comes up so I am unable to reset the password. 4. I tried another option but can't recall exactly what it was (I've been at this way too long) where a code will be emailed to me. I've tried two different email acounts and checked spam. I never receive the code.
I guess I will have to either delete my account (if I'll even be able to without the password) and make a new account and import all my bookmarks or live that that password pop up forever. But...before I do that I'd really like to do things right by simply getting a new password. I've noticed many people with similar problems. What's is up? Love the browser but this is ridiculously complicated or impossible to reset a password.
