how do i see secure content?
I am trying to view video content embedded in my employers website and have been told I can't see it because it is "secure" and I need to "show all secure content" however I do not have a pop up asking me about this and can't seem to work out how to "switch it on"
Please can you help? Here is the link to the website I am referring to: https://www.workplacegiving.co.uk/overseas-aid/ - there is video embedded on each charity page but it shows as a white box for me at the moment.
thanks
Jacqui

Another possibility is to leave out the http protocol. That will make Firefox use the same protocol as was used to open the page.

This forum uses this method as well as you can see in the page source.

hello Jacqui, there should be a shield icon on the left of the address bar which allows you to turn on insecure content on an otherwise encrypted page: Mixed content blocking in Firefox
Thanks! done it and on particular pages it is all working... any chance there is a way to do this en masse so i dont have to go into each page individually to click the shield?... there are about 150 pages you see.... thanks
You can look at this extension:
hello, the best solution would be for your employer to embed the youtube video through https in the source code of the website - then it will work for all visitors of the site without this additional manual step.
for example at https://www.workplacegiving.co.uk/charities/action-against-hunger the source code for the embedded youtube video is
<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/HRHhyNDOhgo" ...>
all that has be done in order to correct this, is changing the source code to
