This really worries me because I am a premium subscriber and wish to keep it that way. Firefox complains this RR does not provide encryption.Once evil hackers get wind of this they'll try to steal premium subscriptions. I will not debate firefox.

if you are concerned about the hackers, it might be time to consider something other than windows xp

I am running Chrome. Chrome reports the following while on https://www.radioreference.com/ and pretty much the same but with more images loaded over http while on https://forums.radioreference.com/

Says the page is not secure but also says I have an encrypted connection to the site.
Is this anything to be concerned about? Just curious.

It's not a problem - just some supporting images and icons are loaded over non-secure http while the rest of the page is secure. At some point I'll get that fixed.

Any chance you can support redirects to force all traffic to https? That is the recommended way of rolling out TLS now days.

Yes, it is an easy header change to rollout, but we're not yet prepared to do it just yet.

We have some infrastructure updates coming over the next few months where this will be part of the rollout.

Insecure password warning in Firefox


This is a new feature that is available starting in Firefox version 51
.

Firefox will display a grey lock icon with a red strike-through in the address bar, when a login page you’re viewing does not have a secure connection. This is to inform you that if you enter your password it could be stolen by eavesdroppers and attackers.

Starting in Firefox version 52, you will also see a warning message when you click inside the login box to enter a username or password.


What can I do if a login page is insecure?

If a login page for your favorite site is insecure, you can try and see if a secure version of the page exists by typing https:// before the url in the location bar. You can also try to contact the web administrator for the site and ask them to secure their connection.
Not recommended: You can also continue to log in to the website even if the connection is insecure, but do so at your own risk. If you do go this route, try to use a unique password or a password that you don’t also use for other important sites.
About insecure pages

Pages that need to transmit private information, such as credit cards, personal information and passwords, need to have a secure connection to help prevent attackers from stealing your information. (Tip: A secure connection will have "HTTPS" in the address bar, along with a green lock icon.)

Pages that don’t transmit any private information can have an unencrypted connection (HTTP). It is not advised to enter private information, such as passwords, on a web page that shows HTTP in the address bar. The information you enter can be stolen over this insecure connection.
Note for developers

For developers looking to learn more about this warning, please see this page. The page explains when and why Firefox shows this warning, and will also provide some details on how to fix the issue. For more information, see this blog post and this Site Compatibility document.

NOTE: This is not a fault of FireFox, it is a valuable feature. If you're not using FireFox, you are still exposed to the risk. You're just not being warned.

I'm not only concerned about my login password, but the contents of my PM's as well. It appears they are also not encrypted, and in the clear, possibly exposed to hackers.
