uninstall Firefox. Then Delete the Mozilla Firefox Folders in C:\Program Files and C:\Program Files(x86) Then restart system. Then run Windows Disk Cleanup. (Note: This should be Pinned and run Weekly, If never done below expect 10's of gig's) Then run it again and click the button that says Cleanup System Files. Note: your Firefox Profile is saved.

You can see a special padlock at the left end of the location/address bar.

• a padlock with a strike through means that mixed active content is blocked.
• a padlock with an exclamation mark attached means that mixed passive content (e.g. images) is present, but not blocked.

The shield icon, previously used for mixed active content, is now used for Tracking Protection.

You can set this pref to true on the about:config page to see more Tracking Protection choices in "Options/Preferences -> Privacy".

I mean it's a review page so how unsecure could it possibly be?

What's the address of the page where you are trying to use the review feature?

If you don't care about the security of your connection to the site, does it help if you edit the address from

https://something

to

http:// something

(i.e., remove the "s")

Sometimes the site requires HTTPS and Firefox will switch the address back.

The issue was resolved using the lock icon, which I guess I had forgotten all about.

Although I went and specifically told FF to allow images to load on this page, which was what the msg said was causing the problem, FF still won't load that page unless I completely Disable Protection for Now?

Seems that function does not work correctly.

NORMALLY, you do not need to disable protection for mixed content to view images. By default, Firefox allows images retrieved on an insecure HTTP address in a secure HTTPS page and shows a little yellow warning triangle on the lock. By contrast, Firefox blocks insecure active content and shows the green lock indicating no insecure content posting a threat to private data.

Therefore, it is suspicious and troubling that you need to suspend protection on a well-run site (okay, maybe I shouldn't assume that). To investigate further, could you check this setting:

(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful or accepting the risk.

(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste mix and pause while the list is filtered

(3) If the security.mixed_content.block_display_content preference is bolded and "modified" or "user set" to true, I suggest double-clicking it to restore the default value of false (or you can right-click > Reset)

If that was normal, then there is a problem with the design of the page.

Just checked it and it is set to false. Must just be Samsung website review feature.
