Bug 798611 will resolve this.

Comment 2

[Justin Crawford [:hoosteeno] [:jcrawford]]

It is actually more complex than comment 1 suggests. We can't simply make protocol-relative calls for maps, since SSL maps are (in most cases) not free. Luckily, we now have a contract with Cloudmade which allows us to use their maps over SSL, so this bug can be resolved by implementing Cloudmade maps. That is discussed at some length here:

However, the maps page itself is being migrated out of the PHP stack, and further development on PHP pages is unlikely. That is discussed here:

This sequence of events works so long as Mozilla.org can be accessed via http. That is being discussed here:
