Firefox 23, embedded flash (youtube) and https

Firefox 23, embedded flash (youtube) and https
I recently updated firefox to version23 and now, whenever I open a page with a video on it, I'm greeted with a blank space where the video should go.
I also get a new shield symbol on the address bar. If I click on that symbol, it says there's some unsafe content on the page. I tell it to disable the protection on that page and I get the videos as normal.
I then get a nice yellow triangle with an exclamation mark.
Clicking it, I get a message saying that the website is only partially encrypted.

This leaves me wondering that the embedded object is not using https.... well, of course it isn't. the link from youtube doesn't have the s.

Testing:
- link from youtube with https:




- Same video, link with http:





According to the post preview, both are blocked. Sad

I don't know, tib... can anything be done about this?

I currently have the new version and I do not have those problems.

I think I'll keep FF 22 for a while until they sort the bugs out.

Thanks.

Thanks.

If you use the http version of this site, you'll find it to be perfectly normal. Wink
