Can unencrypted items in a https connection be hidden?
Some time ago, IE had an option to hide unencrypted items in a https connection. I can't find such an option now, so I can't give more details. Bu the point is: can Firefox do that? Some sites have only partially encrypted connections and to me it is important do distuinguish what is secure and what is not in such sites. One sad example is the very support page for Mozilla produtcs (see below).
Thanks in advance.

Firefox does not have this option, but is supposed to warn you about unencrypted content with https even if the page has some encrypted data.
Usually you won't have to worry that much about 'some unencrypted' data since most of the time they are images.
Thanks, vlad. But if this is the case, maybe Firefox should add this option. I've already seen https sites where not encrypted items were far more sensitive than simple images.
By the way, where can I contribute to a Fifefox wish list?

Hi cor-el,
Thanks for the reference. I've browsed a lot of pages on related issues, but found no evidence that FF is doing it right to this day(!). What's the matter? Do you know when will we be able to block insecure content inside a should-be secure page?

A built-in mixed content blocker is planned for future release (see Security/Features/Mixed Content Blocker - MozillaWiki).
