Hi all,
Since some weeks, all the images hosted by my personal site I included in my messages no more show with Firefox. It works normally with IE and Edge and on cell phones too.
From what I see, if you wait long enough (you can see that in my signature bellow), you get a little square at the image's place and the most strange is that, if you right click and copy the address of the image, this address begins with https though I specified http in the image link. Weird, isn't it ?

I think it's because the images are not coming from a SSL secured server (https://) which this forum is set to as you can see in the address bar in the top. If you look at your images url it starts with http://
I tried changing your url to https:// but it looks like your server don't support it, or it's not activated on it.

Yep, it seems so, but the thing worked on month ago and then turned bad.
As I say, IE or Edge handle the pictures corrrectly. Why here, the http is turned to https ?
I just try to know if it comes from new site settings or a new feature of Firefox

Not sure how long this site been on https:// but it was probably an update in Firefox that did it, it's supposed to be much safer and protective than the Microsoft browsers, and it probably is.
The images are showing in Chrome and Opera so yes it must be just Firefox that blocks it because of the http://

https:// encrypts traffic. If you display images over http and not https, those are not encrypted and thus the whole page load is not secure. Firefox blocking those images is the correct behavior.
Everything on the web, at this point, should be served via https.

Everything on the web, at this point, should be served via https. I could agree, but my personal site is not https. For that, I would need a certificate and my Internet Provider should put it only on my site. Quite complex... |

Most these days provide a free Let's Encrypt Certificate that can be installed with the click of a button. For this case, you might consider hosting your images elsewhere that does provide https...some place like imgur.com |
