https is a type of URL that says you are entering or using a secure http protocol. It uses SSL or secure socket layer. It was first designed by Netscape to authenticate secure communication like payment and sensitive data submission.

So if you mozilla browser is not displaying any https pages then you cannot access the secure sites. Its as simple as that. So you are at a security threat. Mostly smart netizens prefer not to pay or provide sensitive data over normal http pages. This is beccause without a SSL the page or the payment server make be fakes by a third party to cheat you. There are security settings in mozilla that allow you to allow ssl and block them as you wish. so you will have to change them form the tool -> options -> security.
