User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:54.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/54.0 Build ID: 20170220110209 Steps to reproduce: http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/google.com Actual results: Shows insecure login lock icon as if there is an insecure login on the page. Password fields console warnings are also displayed. Expected results: While this page itself is not secure, the "Log in" link on the page redirects to a page with a secure connection. Since there is no visible login on this unsecured page, I wasn't expecting Firefox to show the insecure login lock icon. Furthermore, Chrome does not show its "Not Secure" warning in the address bar for this page.
