Me too.

If I recall correctly, long long ago, before Mozilla browser was called
Firefox, maybe even back when it was called Netscape, it had an option you
could set that said "on secure pages, don't show me any unsecure content."
But it had a problem.  It still fetched the unsecure content.  It just
didn't show it to you.  So, it was doing you the damage, and just keeping
you in the dark about it.  For 9.4 years now, there's been a request to
have the ability to really stop all unsecure fetches for content from
secure pages, and it's going nowhere, due to lack of interest. That's this bug:
