Security warning pop up

When on the internet I have a dialog box randomly pop up telling me that a site contains secure and non secure information and then asking if I want to continue. It is just a random thing that almost seems to be timed, as opposed to site content related. I can be on a site for numerous minutes and have it pop up for no apparent reason. I am used to this happening at the beginning of a secure session or when moving to a new page, but this might pop up several times while on one page without touching the mouse or moving at all on the page. Hard to explain, sorry. My security setting for the internet is medium.

u5086,

 

That would be normal, when switching from a non-secure website to a secure website. On a secure website, you should see it start with httpps://

 

You should also see a lock in the browser on a secure website. The website page we're using is condisdered and a non-secure website. Here is a secure website

 

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/

 

Notice the https:// in the beginning. If you click to go to the above link, you will get the sercure website warning. It's ok to continue.
