How can fix the problem with the padlock with a redline through it in my web browser?I know it has to do with mixed content.

Hi

What is the address of the website where this is happening?

This could be about blocking mixed active content.

You can check the Web Console (Tools -> Web Developer) for messages about the presence of mixed or unsafe content or blocked content.

You can check the Network Monitor to see if content is blocked or otherwise fails to load.

If necessary use "Ctrl+F5" or "Ctrl+Shift+R" (Mac: Command+Shift+R) to reload the page and bypass the cache to generate a fresh log.
