Why does Abrowser say that the h-node login field is not secure?

The h-node login page [1] shows a warning when typing in the username or password field. The webpage is an HTTPS webpage, and the lock icon in the top left says the page is secure. Additionally, I tried submitting a test request using the form and it was sent to an HTTPS URL.

Clicking "Learn more" takes me to an invalid Trisquel wiki page [2], which would be a valid page in Firefox [3]. The Firefox help page is more descriptive but doesn't seem to explain why I might see the warning on an HTTPS page.

I tested this in a private window and in a separate profile and got the same result every time. I am using Abrowser 148.0.2 on Trisquel 11.

Does anyone know why this might be happening, and whether this is an Abrowser issue or an h-node issue?

h-node problem. The < form > is using http.

view-source:https://h-node.org/users/login/en

 < form action = 'http://h-node.org/users/login/en?redirect=' method = 'POST' >

Thanks! It's interesting that the warning appears even though the request is ultimately HTTPS. I wonder if that form will always end up sending an HTTPS request, or if it depends on which pages the browser has already seen.

I also made an attempt at adapting the Mozilla wiki page about this topic to the Trisquel wiki, and I added a note that the warning may be caused by the form even if the page itself is HTTPS.
