My Chrome flags this site as not secure, but it doesnt tell me why which is strange.

EDIT: Looking at it, chrome seems to hide all security info about sites now and only display a generic 'Not Secure' badge for anything. This is a very awkward change and removes lots of convenience when troubleshooting random sites.

Still, the site needs to fix its SSL certificate.

The SSL certificate is fine; the site just redirects from https to http for whatever reason, so you end up with no certificate at all. There's no SSL issue for Chrome to report about.

This is an HTTP site. There is no SSL certificate. That's why Chrome isn't telling you anything, it's not that the site is insecure, it's just that it's not secure.

Firefox simply loads the page without complaint, just mentions that it's "not secure" and puts a broken lock icon in the addressbar.

Firefox is nice.
