"The connection is partially encrypted" in Firefox

I can't figure out if this is a bug in Firefox or anomalies with the website as it only happens through a certain sequence.

TABLES below

If you go to the main page (link below) and then click on the quotes link, it will take you to a page named quoteconfig.aspx that checks for javascript and then redirects you if it is enabled, otherwise you will get a warning. After automatic redirection, Firefox shows an SSL warning about "Connection Partially Encrypted" (see Status Bar Icon). However, if you click on a link or links to my account that do not perform javascript redirects, there is no SSL warning. Also, after refreshing the page or browsing on another page and then clicking the quotes links again, the SSL warning will go away.

I ran Fiddler and Windows Network Monitor and confirmed that all links on the page are https: //. It works great on IE 7 and 8, Safari, Opera and Chrome.

What else could it be?

actions:

  • visit the url below using Firefox (tested on 3.0.5)
  • click the link for quotes
  • observe SSL warning in status bar

It looks like it window.location = "quote.aspx"

might be the culprit. In my browser, at least it redirects to the http version of the page, not https. Then http redirects to https immediately 302.
