Details

STR:
1. Load https://secure.flickr.com/photos/hubertgajewski/sets/72157634726182047/
2. Scroll to the bottom of the page

RESULT:
The photos "above the fold" load as expected, but the photos below the fold never finish loading. Flickr's "Fetching more photos..." loading message is never dismissed.
This sounds similar to bug 890898.  Not quite a duplicate since this is a different entrypoint, but the same underlying issue - flickr includes javascript from yui.yahooapis over HTTP.  The HTTPS version isn't available (invalid cert).

I sent a note to a few of the security folks at yahoo about bug 890898, but haven't heard back.

On Chrome, the yui.yahooapis loads are also blocked, but the photos seem to load.  Perhaps flickr has implemented some chrome specific code.
