insecure website unblock
I read a few posts and it is all gobbledy gook. Can someone answer y/n to the following is their a SIMPLE way to unblock Free-Sudoku.com which I have been using for years? Is there a simple way to turn off all the security stuff so I don't have to waste hours trying to find a solution? Is there a simple way to ask a question to get a meaningful answer without all the flak that means nothing to an average user? Does anyone at Firefox care about the average guy trying use his browser without unnecessary security lockdowns? If anyone can answer yes to these questions, perhaps you can give me a dumbed down version of the simplified questions. I just want to play sudoku from free-sudoku.com all I get is a lock with a bar through it. on the U'RL box. It just started 3 days ago after years of non-interference. When I click on the lock I don't have an unblock button in the popup. Why does firefox just put one there instead of just an arcane hours long wild goose chase to look for non-solutions. Yeah, I am frustrated over unilateral browser lockdowns.

The site is not blocked, though, is it? It works for me even with the slash.
Normally, when the lock has a bar through it, it means you have connected using HTTP: instead of HTTPS: -- in other words, your connection to the site is in the open, it is not encrypted to prevent others from snooping.
If you want to try for a secure connection, you can click in the address bar and manually edit the protocol at the beginning of the address from HTTP: to HTTPS: and then press Enter to submit it.
When I do that, there is a warning triangle on the lock that the images in the page are still being retrieved over an insecure connection.
The site doesn't seem to be designed to use a secure connection.
