How to stop mozilla security from giving me yellow padlocks (mixed content warning) on every google images tab that I open?

Every separate result tab of my google image search result gets an yellow padlock and until I manually press right click and then view image (It doesn't let me to press Google's view image button on the side) it won't let me download it. I disabled it in few of those tabs, but it just keeps appearing over and over again. I can't do that all the time.

It's a serious obstacle in my image collecting. Avast always protected me from virus infected images, so a browser suspecting every single image on the world wide web isn't something I need.

The icon of the lock with the yellow warning triangle is normal if Firefox retrieves images over HTTP into an HTTPS page. When Google shows the large preview, this often is the situation. I don't know of a way to prevent the icon from providing that information.

I'm concerned about this part, however:

Is the problem with Google's "View image" button (next to the large preview image) or are you using some other method to download the image?

At this point, two thoughts:

Clear Cache and Cookies

When you have a problem with one particular site that previously worked normally, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.

(1) Clear Firefox's Cache

See: How to clear the Firefox cache

If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.

(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:

  • right-click a blank area of the page and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
  • (menu bar) Tools > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
  • click the padlock or globe icon in the address bar > More Information > "View Cookies"

In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.

Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

Unblocked Mixed Display Content (if blocked)

Firefox can optionally block images retrieved over HTTP into HTTPS pages. If I do that, the quality of the large preview image is degraded -- it's actually just the upsized thumbnail. This probably isn't the problem, but just in case:

(1) In a new tab, type or paste about:config in the address bar and press Enter/Return. Click the button promising to be careful.

(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste mixed and pause while the list is filtered

(3) If the security.mixed_content.block_display_content preference is bolded and "user set" to true, double-click it to restore the default value of false
