Firefox 23 and mixed content
The Firefox 23 release notes claim that mixed content pages are now blocked. The Mozilla Messaging Forum for Thunderbird support has mixed content, but it is not blocked. Why say that sites with mixed content are blocked if they are not? The URL: http://getsatisfaction.com/mozilla_messaging/topics
Chosen solution
Firefox has two prefs to control mixed content.
- security.mixed_content.block_active_content
- security.mixed_content.block_display_content
Only block_active_content is currently set to true by default. block_display_content is still false, so thing like images aren't blocked.
- Web Console (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer;Ctrl+Shift+K)

Possibly because firefox is only blocking Active Mixed content (ie. scripts), not Passive (ie. Images)
