Firefox handles mixed content by displaying a mixed content warning icon in the bottom right corner of the browser. It also shows a security warning message if that option is enabled. However, Firefox still allows mixed content by default.
If Firefox is set up to display a warning in the event of mixed content, you will see the following warning. Click "OK" to continue onto the content. If you want to prevent this pop-up warning from appearing, follow the steps below.
