Why does Firefox tell me the page I am on page contains unencrypted info when on https address

<blockquote>Locking duplicate thread. 
Please continue here: [[/questions/849608]]</blockquote>
When I used a Safari "https", I was never warned that I had requested a page containing unencrypted information. Why does Foxfire warn me when I am on a supposedly secure link with Bank of America? Why does it say that info I enter can easily be read by 3rd parties? Thank you, David Verch

That is usually by doing a request for images or other files via an insecure HTTP link.
You can test that with the Live HTTP Headers extension if you want to verify that.
*Live Http Headers: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/live-http-headers/
Open the Live HTTP Headers extension via the Tools menu and open the Generator pane. 
Tick all the boxes in the Show panel at the right and do a hard reload via "Command + Shift + R"

Why does firefox 7 crashes the system if Quadro NVS 135M graphics driver is installed?

Why does firefox 7 crashes the system with a Quadro NVS 135M graphics cards installed?
It happens immediately after opening Firefox on a two screen system. You get a message saying the Graphics Driver stopped responding, but that it managed to recover, but after a while the system freezes completely. You can't even CTRL+ALT+DEL.

I get this too on with my nVidia GTX460 card. In my case the screen goes black. It happens once every few days, and for a while I could not figure out why. I was forcing a shutdown to get the screen back.
But I put the computer to sleep and woke it up, since that restarts the video, and this let me see what was wrong. The only error message is it reports that Firefox hung. There is nothing else in the Event logs.
I'm running Windows 7 with all the updates from Windows Update, and my video driver is 285.62, but his also happened with the 260.26 driver.
I imagine this is happening a lot, but people aren't able to isolate the cause.
I'm looking for a fix, not a bypass.

Why does Firefox bring up the welcome page when I move my mouse??

Good day:
When I minimize Firefox the moment I move my mouse to view other documents, Firefox brings up the page and it's very annoying as I have to continuously minimize it over and over....
I would appreciate help with this issue.
Thank you very much for your attention to this request.

Why does Firefox sometimes put the New Tab "+" button to the left of my open tabs instead of to the right?

''dupe of https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/932160''
[Re-posted with additional details when I thought this post had failed. Please respond to the other post and ignore this one. My apologies for the duplication.]
In some windows, seems more likely after a crash recovery (but not sure there's a connection), Firefox puts the New Tab "+" button to the left of my tabs instead of the right. This is annoying, because once you're used to clicking it to the right of your open tabs, it's confusing to sometimes find it to the left.
If I go into Customize mode, it still shows the "+" tab on the right, but as soon as I close Customize, it's really still there on the left edge of the screen.
Why does this happen and can I stop it? I have seen no reports of this problem posted by others, but it's been happening for me since at least Version 12 and not fixed by version 13.0.1.

This may be related to session restore.

Why does FireFox freeze and the only way to unfreeze it is to open the task manager and close the plugin-container.exe file??? It has been happening more and more often and it is getting VERY AGGRAVATING!!!!!

When Firefox does freeze (not responding appears in parentheses in the page tab) I am not able to access any of the webpages (the entire webpage is hidden behind a vaguely white transparent foreground) and more often than not any files I might be downloading are stopped before the entire file has been transferred - which means that I have to start those downloads from the beginning AGAIN. This has been happening for quite some time and I AM SICK AND TIRED OF IT HAPPENING!!
If it continues to happen for much longer I will swear off FireFox FOREVER!!!!! Either a program works or it does not work and lately Firefox has not worked worth a damn...........
The ONLY way to force Firefox to allow me to access it is for me to end the plugin-container.exe file process using Task Manager. Clearing there is a SERIOUS problem here that has not been resolved - why not???

The pluging container opens up unnecessary copies as the cookies/history are cleared, this is a known issue, it might be what you are seeing, and it is hoped to be fixed in some future release of firerox.
There are some hangs affecting some users, with symptoms being high cpu usage, occurring as bookmark changes or syncing is in progress, there is a work around for that.

Why does Firefox say that the 6.0 update is the latest version?

I was prompted to update to Firefox 7.0 It also said my Norton Identity safe and toolbar would not work with this version. I ran live updates several times and restarted my computer. Now when I go to the trouble section, it says I am at risk not having the latest version. When I try to update, it says 6.0 is the latest version and I am protected. This product is not worth this much work and aggravation. Why has Firefox become such a pain in the butt?

Why does Firefox 18 ignore the specified character encoding for websites?

We are developing a page on our website that will have the page crawled and a newsletter generated and sent out to a mailing list. Many email packages default to character encoding of iso-8859-1 so we have set our character encoding to this on the page via the standard meta tag.
We have a problem on the newsletters that we had until now been unsuccessful to replicate. Though now I know why.... I have just discovered that in Firefox 18, the specified character encoding is being completely ignored. It is rendering the page in UTF-8 even though we specified ISO-8859-1. Firefox 3.6 however, renders the page with the proper encoding (thank god for keeping an old version for testing).
Can anyone explain why the new Firefox is completely ignoring the meta tag? Both browsers are using the factory default (I even opened FF18 in safe mode)...

Thanks for letting me know that Firefox 18 ignores everything but the server headers... but it doesn't help me much. Our website is in UFT-8... but this page is a newsletter, one that is crawled and saved into an email and sent out to a mailing list (by a third party newsletter program) and many email readers use ISO-8859-1 hence why we want to have the page rendered in that encoding so that we can actually test the newsletter properly. We can't test through the third party software as our testing environment is behind a firewall, and you can't change the server headers for a single page... hence the meta tag.
If you explicitly choose to render a page in a specific encoding, that shouldn't be ignored by the browser. It's not a big deal, but now every time we make a code change in our test environment and reload the page we have to force the encoding manually in the browser which is a pain.
The problem is, the newsletter is already live and we have some users complaining because some characters aren't displaying properly in their email packages (Entourage for Mac is one of them), all our testing (which is encoding using UTF-8) looks fine.

Why does firefox give out the wrong address for me, it usually says I'm around LA, I live in Hemet

I've noticed some web sites show my address around LA or up in northern Ca.. I live in Hemet, Ca. I cannot find anywhere where it is not my real address. This is getting very frustrating, when I want to look in my area for deals and it asks if I want to show my location, I say yes and it shows a map of usually around LA somewhere. Today I called a place I ordered something from and they said I ordered it in Pleasanton (where ever that is) How does that work. I've had this problem on another site. When it asks do I want to show my location it shows cities around LA. I'm in the same place for the last 4 years. Please help me. Where is it that it;s getting this info? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Sam Scarcello

This is not a Firefox settings, but rather one of these two things:
*Your DNS settings on your computer are configured to show you in LA
*Your router is setup with the incorrect area
In either case, please contact a local IT technician.

Why does firefox repeatedly send message stating reset link has been sent to email when it never is sent

Why does Firefox tell me that I don't have the latest version of Flash but Adobe tells me that I do?

Firefox keeps telling me that I have to upload a newer version of Adobe Flash. However, Adobe tells me that I have the latest version. Also, Google Chrome lets me see pages that Firefox will not load because it thinks I don't have the right version of Flash! Any ideas on how to resolve this? Thanks in advance.

Why does Firefox not scroll the page when selecting & the cursor reaches the bottom of the screen

When selecting text on a screen page, when the cursor reached the bottom edge of the screen Firefox (9.0.1) does not scroll. Other programs (including IE) do so, so it does not appear to be a local computer problem.
I cannot see a setting on the options page that enables/disables this so what is the solution?

Enable the Add-ons bar (Firefox > Options or View > Toolbars; Ctrl+/) or the Find bar (Ctrl+F) to make Firefox scroll the page while selecting text.

When looking for images on Google Images why does Firefox only load the first page?

For over a month now whenever I've gone to Google Images only the first page of pictures is shown, the others are just gray boxes or nothing at all. I've cleared my cache and cookies, but don't know what else I can try.

Does it help if you disable "Google Instant" in the Google Search settings?
