How to correct: Connection is not secure message on HTTPS site
Nothing on help pages explains how to fix the problem with the orange triangle on the lock on an HTTPS site. How can I secure the connection???
Chosen solution
You can force connection to HTTPS for some things that cause the issue. I forgot when looked at the page I had HTTPS EVERYWHERE running : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/https-everywhere/ The above will force a connection to say google analytics if has been coded with http, or to google fonts or....It can only force a connection if there is a connection to force it to ei a HTTPS address.

Huh??
I am not a web developer. I can't even follow your instructions if I'm not reading them on this page. Thanks wholeheartedly for your effort but you've lost me completely. Might as well be speaking Chinese.

Whoops, you need to open the web console in the tab with the site that is giving you the problem, reload the page so the console can gather fresh data, and then check for any mixed content messages.
This is what I get on Web Console on the page in question:

It's the same logo that's always been there and never caused any problems before. Blocking images does not correct the issue.

Adding HTTPS EVERWHERE and checking the box for "Block all unencrypted requests" has finally got me a green lock again!
Thank you for that... but this seems rigged rather than solved. I suspect that running HTTPS EVERYWHERE is going to surface new issues elsehwere.

Yes, it may occasionally upgrade HTTP connections to HTTPS that Firefox won't actually trust. You can use its toolbar button to manage how the extension works on particular sites. (I think; haven't used it for years.)
