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 bar.

Hi nasaqww, The form fill expire 180 days is the default. You can see this in the about:config page under the feature: browser.formfill.expire_days and browser.sessionhistory.max_entries

As for the explanation mark, if you click on that the permissions menu will come up an it will give you more details.
