Mixed Content makes for Stupid Browser Errors

mozilla logo shot the hell up    
So I've had run ins with a number of browsers which are reporting a lack of secure connection in the presence of full blown SSL and TLS. It seem that links utilizing the insecure http:// protocol throws these errors.

While I view this all as trivial the bottom line is people coming to my sites may feel trepidation encountering such browsers warnings ... like fireGDfox and other Gecko engine monstrosities which like to get in your face for trifles.

Anyway, I have purged all sites of the issue except for the blog. I have written SQL statements to convert all instances of http:// to https://. I intend to run these after copious testing under various conditions. What a bunch of stupid crap. I really have the ass for Mozilla in particular over this. Technolamers.
