Description Mike 2015-09-02 14:13:21 UTC
When browsing to extensions.gnome.org, I see mixed a mixed content warning in my URL bar. This website is designed to install software at into my OS with a high privilege level, making the security of extensions.gnome.org very, very important.

According to Firefox's security log[1], the resource causing this problem is:

> Loading mixed (insecure) display content "http://i1.wp.com/extensions.gnome.org/static/images/nobody.png" on a secure page jquery.js:6411:0

It looks like this is already getting redirected to a secure version, which is good because it means the resource is already available over HTTPS, but the redirection is a vector for attack.

Can we please get this fixed? In my opinions this is one of those bugs that defeats the whole purpose of the site, since it makes it very hard to trust the software it is providing.

Bizarre. It seems Gravatar has started completely flat out ignoring the secure.gravatar.com thing and redirecting us to its own HTTP website. That's unfortunate.
