Mixed content blocking in Firefox

About mixed content: HTTPS page you visit includes HTTP content, the HTTP portion can be read or modified by attackers, even though the main page is served over HTTPS. When an HTTPS page has HTTP content, we call that content " mixed ". The page you are visiting is only partially encrypted and even though it appears to be secure, it isn't. Steps to unblock mixed content : 1) For Temporary disable: click on "Disable protection on this page", Firefox seems to remember the choice till the end of the session. 2) For  permanently disable: Enter about:config 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 . Double-click it and change its value to false . 3) Other Fix: You can add the toggle mixed content add-on from here https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/toggle-mixed-active-content/

The requested URL’s length exceeds the capacity limit for this server.

This is caused by the Apache limits the set a size of a client's HTTP request-line (e.g. <HTTP METHOD> <URL> <protocol version>) and the HTTP request header field size. So the default values will need to be increased if the request URL is this large. Increase the URI length limit in the Apache configuration file (by default it is  /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf  ): LimitRequestLine 16380 LimitRequestFieldSize 16380 Increase these to values to accommodate the URL length
