Firefox 24 Blocking Content

    I recently upgraded to Firefox 24.0 on OS X 10.7.5. I also use the HTTPS-Everywhere 3.4.2 add-on. When I load Boards.ie it uses an https URL, but Firefox blocks some of the content as not secure.

    It seems to be using this system, which was implemented in Firefox 23. (I went straight from 22 to 24, so I don't know if it's also an issue with 23.)
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-does-content-isnt-secure-affect-my-safety?as=u&utm_source=inproduct

    The text loads, as do some of the images, but the layout and background are wrong. I've attached a screenshot. To get the page to load properly I have to disable the protection on a page-by-page basis. I haven't encountered this issue with any other websites.

    Thanks.

    This has been discussed in the past. Boards.ie isn't setup to be used entirely through HTTPS, and this is a known limitation.
