But far more serious ... FireFox are flagging all my password protected
web pages as unsafe:
Recently on the sign in screen, a warning message has begun to appear
stating that "This connection is not secure ... logins entered here could be
compromised".
This warning appears when the Firefox web browser is used.
Needless to say this is alarming customers.
There is a link associated with the warning message that takes you to a Firefox
support page:
https://support.mozilla.org/t5/Protect-your-privacy/Insecure-password-warning-in-Firefox/ta-p/27861
The page reads thus:
"Insecure password warning in Firefox
This is a new feature that is available starting in Firefox version 51.
Firefox will display a grey lock icon with a red strike-through in the address bar, when a login page you’re viewing does not have a secure connection. This is to inform you that if you enter your password it could be stolen by eavesdroppers and attackers.
Starting in Firefox version 52, you will also see a warning message when you click inside the login box to enter a username or password.
What can I do if a login page is insecure?
If a login page for your favorite site is insecure, you can try and see if a secure version of the page exists by typing https:// before the url in the location bar. You can also try to contact the web administrator for the site and ask them to secure their connection.
Not recommended: You can also continue to log in to the website even if the connection is insecure, but do so at your own risk. If you do go this route, try to use a unique password or a password that you don’t also use for other important sites.
About insecure pages
Pages that need to transmit private information, such as credit cards, personal information and passwords, need to have a secure connection to help prevent attackers from stealing your information. (Tip: A secure connection will have "HTTPS" in the address bar, along with a green lock icon.)
Pages that don’t transmit any private information can have an unencrypted connection (HTTP). It is not advised to enter private information, such as passwords, on a web page that shows HTTP in the address bar. The information you enter can be stolen over this insecure connection.
Note for developers
For developers looking to learn more about this warning, please see this page. The page explains when and why Firefox shows this warning, and will also provide some details on how to fix the issue. For more information, see this blog post and this Site Compatibility document."
Can you help me address the issues raised here as I can see many potential problems if my
firefox using customers are receiving these repeated warnings and may start viewing my sites
as unsafe.
How can I secure my URLS and make them HTTPS as discussed above?
Best Regards
Steve

I have no idea what "RoundCube" is?
I too have been getting porn site spam and all sorts of garbage on one of my email addresses!
Every six months it seems? Homestead, problems, problems?
Did you all give some sort of imbecile the keys to the office?
Thanks
