If this is still a problem it's a problem with the sendBeacon() code triggering the developer console (probably somewhere in the subsystem responsible for doing the request).

This Bug was filed 5 years ago and the Mixed Content Blocker changed quite drastically in between. I can't reproduce the bug, hence I'll just link that bug to the master bug for mixed content and will mark it as WORKSFORME.
