I have posed a question on 13.01 in which I get a message when going to https://www.youtube.com (ssl connection)"Security Warning, You have requested an encrypted page that contains a unencrypted information. Information the you see or enter could easily be read by third party. Why is it possible to read or view a SSL web site by third party? 

The ticket was locked by cor-el suggesting I upgrade to the latest. the latest version has no description of this  correction. Is this forum only for the latest version of Firefox?

We are here to assist but unfortunately there is nothing to do if you do not follow the steps provided earlier in time. Please try the update to a newer version as this may solve the issue.

Thank You

I have not seen an answer or solution to this security issue in which an SSL site is visible to an attacker. The answer to upgrade is not an answer unless you can point out a specific fix for this SSL problem?

That is a problem with the YouTube site that has content (likely some ad related images) that come via a insecure HTTP connection.
You can see that in the Tools > Page Info > Media window.
There is not much that you can do about this apart from accessing the site via a HTTP link and not via a secure HTTPS link. YouTube needs to fix this on their site(s).
