Your connection is not secure The owner of imgoat.com has configured their website improperly. To protect your information from being stolen, Waterfox has not connected to this website.

A bit of both. It allows and certifies http**s**. It is required to ensure you have a secure connection. It's not a big deal for viewing pics, but you wouldn't want to do banking or the like without it. In general it is a good idea for sites to always use ssl, but isn't required in cases where security is a nonissue.
