For about the past week images stopped showing up on autoblog.com which I check out once a day and sometimes read articles from. I'm using Firefox on a Mac and get a little yellow triangle up by the address regarding the certificate but Firefox won't give me an option to do anything about it.
autoblog.com images not showing up

There is an update notice that popped up this AM.
This happened at home. It works in Firefox on my work PC but I seldom visit the site from here, at home its one of the browser tabs that just sits open all of the time.

I think that yellow triangle has something to do with you being at a secure site (https://) and some content - perhaps those images - being loaded from and unencrypted source (http://; note the absence of the "s").
For giggles, I would head up to the address bar and manually remove the "s" after "http" and then hit ENTER and see what happens.
I am surprised Firefox is not availing to you the option of simply ignoring this discrepancy.
EDIT: YUP! I get redirected to ca.autoblog.com but can choose to go back to the U.S. version. At that point I manually add the "s" and lo and behold I get *no* images; at least in their main news carousel. I would send them a message indicating what is happening.

Update to what?

Latest version of Firefox. It usually does it automatically so it's not like the version was old to begin with.

Thanks! That did it. I have no clue how the 's' got in there, though.

The "s" is for SSL encryption, and that is a very good thing; especially if/ when you are logging in and providing a username and password. It is en error on their part to have some of the data on the page(s) and some not, which triggers warnings and other odd behaviour from most browsers.
