Why is Time Warner Cable webmail now a gray triangle unsecure site? It was fine last night; just happened this morning. TWC was no help.
Getting gray triangle warning on webmail.maine.rr.com; other sites I use are secure. Is this a Mozilla issue or TWC?

Hello,
Maybe there was an update to the site? I just visited the link you referred to an I see a lock symbol, letting me know my connection is secure. You can try this:

By the way, the gray ! triangle indicates that although the main page was loaded over a secure connection, some content in the page, typically an image, was loaded over a regular connection.
Do you notice any unusual content in the page? Sometimes a bad add-on will insert extra ads into a page and can trigger the mixed content warning. To investigate a possible bad add-on, here is the process I suggest:
(1) Open the Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a Program. After the list loads, click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help in smoking out undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
(2) Open Firefox's Add-ons page using either:
- Ctrl+Shift+a
- "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Plugins. Set nonessential and unrecognized plugins to "Never Activate".
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable (or Remove, if possible) unrecognized and unwanted extensions.
Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Any improvement?
(3) You can search for remaining issues with the scanning/cleaning tools listed in our support article: Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware. These on-demand scanners are free and take considerable time to run. If they finish quickly and especially if they require payment, you may have a serious infection. I suggest the specialized forums listed in the article in that case.
