This talking to myself is kind of fun! :)
Turns out what I have going on is some amount of mixed content...http
stuff served up from an https link.
So now I have to figure out how to best resolve that.
Firefox 34 blocks that by default...not sure if what the site has is
considered Active or Passive mixed content, but whatever it is...it is
blocked.
Hope this helps someone else.
