I do a lot of work with Firefox, as its developer tools outshine all the other browsers, hands down.  But recently I\u2019ve been getting a lot of sites appearing without CSS.  As it turns out, there\u2019s actually \u201cmixed content\u201d on the page, and the default security setting is to block that content.  Normally I agree with security settings in general, but I know what I\u2019m doing, and this is just a massive annoyance.  There are ways around this though.  <\/p>\n

1) You can add the toggle mixed content add-on from here https:\/\/addons.mozilla.org\/en-us\/firefox\/addon\/toggle-mixed-active-content\/<\/a><\/p>\n

2) However, my preferred method is to disable the feature in the browser by doing the following.<\/p>\n

Enter about:config<\/strong> into the Firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named security.mixed_content.block_active_content<\/strong>. Double-click it and change its value to false<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

After this, you\u2019ll be browsing without that annoying security blockage, and everything will feel back to normal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
