That means that part of your site is not loading over HTTP. Firefox is actually doing what it’s supposed to do, browsers shouldn’t be loading HTTP-only content over HTTPS.
The element in question is loading over HTTPS for me. Were you able to resolve the issue?
Hi James – thanks for your response. No I can’t resolve it as I’m not quite sure how to 🙂 Are you using this same version of firefox?
I was using Firefox 36.0.1 and it was just fine for me. Try temporarily disabling all of your Firefox add-ons, then clear Firefox’s cache and check again.
Hmmmm. I’ve updated Firefox, cleared the cache, deleted cookies, disabled add-ons….and I still get the mixed media error. ho hum.
Are you seeing it in the developer console, or is it a pop-up error?
In the URL, the usual padlock is a grey triangle with an exclamation mark.
When I go to the “Inspect Element”, I get
Blocked loading mixed active content “http://alteregovoices.com/?raindrops_color_type=1&ver=7a65286be6a584975b5d99dd52bff367”
and “Style sheet cannot be loaded http://alteregovoices.com/?raindrops_color_type=1&ver=7a65286be6a584975b5d99dd52bff367”
I had a similar issue, if you can’t fix in the template or plugin you can try this plugin – https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-https/
It forces all the urls to be https.
I already use that plugin – I’m so confused, <sob>
lol that is strange!
You could also change the url in General > Settings to include the https if it hasn’t already.
Yep – already done 🙂 Lol indeed!
Interestingly, when I do a view source on the pages with the errors the url that it is complaining about is being referenced as https.
There was another example that looks similar here
http://security.stackexchange.com/questions/73707/mixed-content-stylesheet-being-blocked-because-of-a-querystring-parameter
but I checked and your url isn’t returning different status codes with the query string so it’s probably not relevant.
It’s probably something like this….

What version of your theme are you running? It may already be fixed in the latest version.
The theme author knows about it, but isn’t sure himself 🙂 I’ve already got the google fonts sorted out.
I just looked, and this was being blocked:
Blocked loading mixed active content “http://alteregovoices.com/?raindrops_color_type=1&ver=7a65286be6a584975b5d99dd52bff367”; although, the url is https in the code.
Using Live Headers, I went to that URL and got:

So, it looks like the server or code is doing a redirect to a non-https location.
That’s it, nice one Mark 🙂
