How do I change the setting to allow encrypted or unsecure information to be seen?

When I go to one of the sites for my online school, some of the information does not show up. I am assuming this is because it contains some unsecure links or something. I need to be able to see this information. There is no warning or anything, it just automatically blocks the information. How do I change this?

If content is missing or otherwise not working when a secure https connection is used then check if there is a shield icon to the left of the "Site Identity Button" (globe/padlock) on the location bar indicating that content is blocked.

You can set this pref to false on the about:config page to disable this feature.

Check with the administrator of the site first to see if any special access rights (e.g. a staff account can see it, a student account can not) are required to see the information you are interesting in.
