Title: Https and Firefox problem Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # Https and Firefox problem * [Cromerty](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cromerty/) * (@cromerty) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/https-and-firefox-problem/) * Since Firefox 36.0 was updated, it seems to have got more picky. * When I load my site, I get this error: * Blocked loading mixed active content “[http://alteregovoices.com/?raindrops_color_type=1&ver=7a65286be6a584975b5d99dd52bff367”](http://alteregovoices.com/?raindrops_color_type=1&ver=7a65286be6a584975b5d99dd52bff367”); * [https://alteregovoices.com](https://alteregovoices.com) * (Chrome and IE still load ok) * I have gone through and deactivated all my plugins, so I know it’s nothing to do with them. * Thank you in advance for any advice.

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? * Thread Starter [Cromerty](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cromerty/) * (@cromerty) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/https-and-firefox-problem/#post-5866103) * 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? * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/https-and-firefox-problem/#post-5866105) * 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. * Thread Starter [Cromerty](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cromerty/) * (@cromerty) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/https-and-firefox-problem/#post-5866108) * Hmmmm. I’ve updated Firefox, cleared the cache, deleted cookies, disabled add- ons….and I still get the mixed media error. ho hum. * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/https-and-firefox-problem/#post-5866111) * Are you seeing it in the developer console, or is it a pop-up error? * Thread Starter [Cromerty](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cromerty/) * (@cromerty) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/https-and-firefox-problem/#post-5866115) * 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”](http://alteregovoices.com/?raindrops_color_type=1&ver=7a65286be6a584975b5d99dd52bff367”); * and “Style sheet cannot be loaded [http://alteregovoices.com/?raindrops_color_type=1&ver=7a65286be6a584975b5d99dd52bff367”](http://alteregovoices.com/?raindrops_color_type=1&ver=7a65286be6a584975b5d99dd52bff367”); * [wpjobz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpjobz/) * (@wpjobz) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/https-and-firefox-problem/#post-5866117) * 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/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-https/) * It forces all the urls to be https. * Thread Starter [Cromerty](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cromerty/) * (@cromerty) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/https-and-firefox-problem/#post-5866118) * I already use that plugin – I’m so confused, * [wpjobz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpjobz/) * (@wpjobz) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/https-and-firefox-problem/#post-5866120) * lol that is strange! * You could also change the url in General > Settings to include the https if it hasn’t already. * Thread Starter [Cromerty](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cromerty/) * (@cromerty) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/https-and-firefox-problem/#post-5866121) * Yep – already done 🙂 Lol indeed! * [wpjobz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpjobz/) * (@wpjobz) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/https-and-firefox-problem/#post-5866125) * 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](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. * [wpjobz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpjobz/) * (@wpjobz) * [11 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/https-and-firefox-problem/#post-5866128) * It’s probably something like this….
