I've now done a fresh build on 9.0 and have a lot more installed, including seahorse and also gnome-keyring (although I think at least the latter of that pair is only used for storing passwords, no ?) No change to https, so I only briefly tested re images, but at theregister only the first image (for the 'top' story) appears. Oddly, https://www.bing.com does not give me any grief about the certificate. Looking around, past reports online (probably now quite old) have mentioned glib-openssl which we don't use. For the images, it might be a jpeg2000 issue although I had that installed when I built it.
