@RGJ Thanks for the tip.

So I duly create a 144×144&nbsp;px icon locally (the red square with some text) and add it to `Settings > Required > apple touch icon`.

So far so good although I&nbsp;don’t have an iPhone to test its use. But the Firefox URL bar warning icon persists. So I&nbsp;check the external URLs using `View Page Info` and find that Discourse has used `http` and not `https`. As shown:

In relation to this URL:

So is the use of `http` in this situation a bug in Discourse? Or is this correct behavior? Thanks again to the devs and TIA also.

This is not the only custom site-specific icon that is `http` if you look closely at the screenshot but it will quite usefully serve as our test case. The others were loaded at the time the site was established a couple of years back so they are not so informative.
