Even as another Firefox user, I still think the answer to that doesn't matter. The real issue is that people are still using http. If those images had been hosted on an https server, as everything should be these days, this would never have even come up.

I enabled https for my site in 2016, and started forcing it in 2017 (any http request redirects to the corresponding https address), because the service LetsEncrypt made it so anyone can get a certificate for https for free, so there is no longer a cost excuse for not using https. That was 5 years ago, and I tend to be one who is very slow at adopting new things. This forum also uses LetsEncrypt (though I believe the switch here was years later).
