- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12827581, 5 years agoInstantly fixed the mixed content issues with several websites I need to do my work. This truly should be an option in the browser itself without going to about.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13707739, 6 years agoHi ByGhost,
Thank you for your add-on.
I am giving you 3 stars because:
1) I did a test at (https://www.bennish.net/mixed-content.html), and your add-on enables more stuff than "security.mixed_content.upgrade_display_content = true" (it is expected both to have the same result). By the way, please, what exactly is the difference between your add-on and "security.mixed_content.upgrade_display_content = true"?
2) When mixed content is upgraded trough your add-on, there is no visible icon/signal informing that. The content upgrading seems to be automatic. It will be nice an icon/signal, allowing users to chose between upgrading or not.
I will raise my rating to 5 stars, and I will edit my review, if you, please, answer my 2 questions.
Thank you once again.Developer response
posted 6 years agoFx didn't have the upgrade_display_content option when this addon was released. It's mainly for my personal use, so no I choose not to bother with UI stuff. You're welcome to improve it and send a patch though, it's GPL licensed :) - Rated 3 out of 5by Khlieb, 7 years agoI suggest adding Save and Reset buttons into setting page, then users will be allowed to save settings or to resolve wrong settings.
- Rated 5 out of 5by reza, 7 years agomany https websites for example have images loaded from other sites that are not https that if this addon is enabled then they wont work.
so I would have to add them all to blacklist of this addon.
so can you add an option for blacklisting domains that this images are from so I can still see them ?(their number is not high but they are visible in many sites I use so I have to blacklist those sites .
but if you add this option then I don't have to blacklist any site ,just the domains that are not https at all but are used in many https websites I use.
btw this is a very good addon but why https-everywhere doesn't do this ?
I have tested with that addon and I still get blocks on some websites that are not configured correctly when their css is on http and even thought https-everywhere make the webpage go https, the css is not converted to https before being blocked by firefox.
again thanks for writing an addon that works really good and fixes one of the bugs that others didn't thought to fix.
EDIT: I am not a developer so sorry if I come off as too stupid.
you are saying it is impossible to change the addon to tell it not to upgrade all the resources before blocking them and cant tell firefox based on a list?(either white listed or blacklisted?) .
and httpseverywhere has low developer time?
they are upgrading their addon like almost every two week and have already gone to web-extension way,which I don't think was easy for them.
and by the way how do I access the source code of addon ?
firefox used to have a "addon source code shortcut" but they removed it.
I am not entirely sure how firefox works anymore. do they allow not open source addons? if they don't then why not showing the source to others?Developer response
posted 7 years agoThe addon itself doesn't (and can't) rewrite any request, it only tells the browser to upgrade all http resources before blocking them. In other words, It can only apply to the top-level request rather than a specific request.
Simply adding this will break many things inevitably. I originally wrote this addon only to experiment the idea and it happened to work for me. I agree that it can be further improved such as the UI and shortcuts, but I just don't have the interest to work on it. This addon is licensed under GPL, so please feel free to make any changes and create a PR on GitHub. - Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 12989033, 8 years agoI really like the ides of this extensions but am unsure if it is actually working as intended, although it may be my misunderstanding.
What I mean is when I go to a website like badssl.com or verybadssl.com with this addon the images do in fact load which is great. If I look in the element inspector they show the request as https.
But if I look at the uMatrix or uBlock logs it shows a request to the http version of the image.
I have the proper about:config settings changed, and am a bit confused by this behavior.
Am I missing something?Developer response
posted 8 years agouBlock logs both the original request and the redirected request. You can check the actual request using Wireshark/Fiddler. (p.s. It would be a Firefox bug if the request was still sent) - Rated 5 out of 5by Tulirebane, 8 years agoThe extension does what it says, fluently replacing HTTP images with HTTPS when available. Probably works with other content too :)
