We could consider to auto-upgrade mixed passive content like:

  • audio, video
  • images

from http to https.

Given the current state of the internet, that should probably work.

Hi Christoph,
This updates security.mixed_content.upgrade_display_content to build on nightly from FFv84. Does that mean this will also be on by default in all other builds when FFv84 is release? i.e. this feature will no longer be experimental and I can remove this section: https://wiki.developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox/Experimental_features#Upgrading_mixed_display_content

Flags: needinfo?(ckerschb)

Christoph, please ignore above. I'm pretty sure has to be as I have indicated.

Docs for this are now in MDN at Web security > Mixed content >Loading mixed-content resources > Upgrading mixed-display resources

There is more information on what was done in https://github.com/mdn/sprints/issues/3906#issuecomment-728664905

(In reply to Hamish Willee from comment #11)

Hey Hamish, thanks for reaching out and double checking. To avoid any confusion, the flag security.mixed_content.upgrade_display_content is set to true in Nightly only and will not be on by default in any of our release versions.

FWIW, we have Bug 1672106 on file where we are considering enabling it in release mode - but there are no definite plans to do so just now.

Christoph, thank you very much. A little work now to undo some of this, but that's what you get for making assumptions.
