Comment(by cypherpunks):
See Firefox bug 834836 for more info: https://bugzil.la/834836
Firefox 18 added a new about:config pref
"security.mixed_content.block_active_content", defaulting to false.
Firefox 23 toggled the default value to true. HTTPS Everywhere could query
"security.mixed_content.block_active_content" to see if mixed content will
cause problems with HTTPS.
Firefox allows users to allow mixed content on a per-site basis using
Firefox's "doorhanger" permissions UI. I don't know if there is a way for
an add-on to programatically query an individual site's mixed content
permissions.
