You can turn this notification feature off somewhere in the Firefox
preferences (haven't got it infront of me right now to tell you
exactly  where :S)

 I have question about https

 I am using mozila to access gmail as https://mail.google.com/mail

 Why mozilla prompts me the alert box?

I use Mozilla Firefox v.3.0.16 (32 bit) on CentOS 5.4
I am *not* getting warnings like that, with Gmail or with the URL you
posted above. Which version of Mozilla (Firefox?) are you using?

 You have requested an encrypted page that contains some unencrypted 
 information. Information that you see or enter on this page could easily be 
 read by a third party.

 How mozilla knows I have data not encrypted?

I have seen warnings like that, but not with Gmail.  That means that
some of the information on the web page you are accessing is not
encrypted.

 ls https secured?

Yes, it is encrypted, but sometimes not all of the information on a
web page is encrypted.

Yes, the 's' at the end means it uses SSL to provide a secure 
connection. If you have elements on the page that have an http: prefix, 
then mozilla and other browsers will complain about it.
