No lock icon for HTTPS websites.

It seems that the lock icon in Safari's address bar is missing.
How can I verify that a websites is secure?

I'm not sure if Safari was updated since your question, but today the lock icon is in the address bar right next to the address

Safari 8 not displaying lock icon for https secured websites

It seems that Safari 8 (installed with Yosemite) is not showing the lock icon for HTTPS websites.
I can't find a way to see the security certificates for secure websites.
I switched the “Show full website address” setting in Safari's Preferences, but nothing happened.
It's essential having this icon, or any way to tell if the site is secure or not.
I don't see any other option in the menus or anywhere else in Safari to see a sites certificates.

Bookmarks are saved yet after using the page icon is still displayed instead of the actual icon for the website. I have followed the directions for "Favicons do not display".

My bookmarks, on a HP Pavilion dv-7-2273cl notebook, are saved yet the page icon is still displayed after using the bookmark instead of the actual icon for the website. I have followed the directions for "Favicons do not display" without any success. This problem is not experienced on my much older Gateway desktop.

A possible cause is a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.

How to create a custom home screen icon for your website and where to upload it

I created a joomla 3 site used Icon Slate to size icon but know where to upload the icons. Right now when a user goes to "Add to Home Screen" It just uses a copy of the page they are on.

Quality icons for UI development?

Hi
I'm looking for a set of quality icons (something like the latest NetBeans icons would be great) for use in a UI development. I've had a look at the standard Java icons, which I don't find to be particularly clear / colourful / useable.
Specifically, I'd like to have icons for the following actions:
- Logon
- Logoff
- Quit (exit client)
- Export Data
- View Change Logs
Help appreciated
Lance

Lock icon on fla

hi,
i save my flas in the normal "save as" and i find some of my flas have a lock icon on the red fla icon.
What does this mean and how did i do this?, can it be undone?
thanks

The file isn't locked and it's no system or hidden file. Also, the lock doesn't look like the standard lock icon for svn repositories (in my case subversion).
When I move it to another folder, the lock disappears. Finally, I think it may be a false overlay, caused by TortoiseSVN. In the end, the file acts like a normal fla and I just ignore this detail from now on. :-)
Thank you for taking the time to write an answer.

No icon for web address

i recently upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountian Lion. Now the web address shows when I go to a website. However, none of my bookmarks show the related icon for that website. Any suggestions?

Sig is right, but since it's quick and simple:
You'll need to call up all the websites to have the (fav)icons updated. Or the other way around, Safari shows only (fav)icons of sites which provide one and have been loaded.

I just upgraded to Firefox 5.0.1 and since the "lock" icon never appears when accessing secure websites, where should I look for it?

I just recently upgraded to Firefox 5.0.1 and now the "lock" icon doesn't appear anywhere (I can find) when accessing secure websites. I haven't seen it once. It used to appear in the lower right corner of the screen. I also have Norton Internet Security.

Padlock is no longer part of Firefox; it was removed beginning in Firefox 4. The padlock shows that there is a secure connection but does not supply additional information. You could have made a typographical error and still have been connected to a secure connection. The padlock was replaced in Firefox 3 with the Site Identity Button. Familiarize yourself with the Site Identity Button at the left end of the Location Bar:

The other day I had downloaded the latest version of Firefox and now none of the icons for the different websites I normally go to are there?

As I said, the other day I had downloaded the latest version of Firefox and after doing so none of the icons for the different websites that normally go to are no longer there. Websites such as MSNBC, MSN, Most visited, that entire strip is no longer visible. I tired resetting Firefox and still nothing. Can anyone tell me how to get them to appear again? It's a hassle every time that I want to go to one of those sites I have to type it in the search bar, instead of just clicking on it as I did before. Please keep in mind if you answer, that I'm still learning about these things called computers and not very well versed in some of the things that you experts know:) Thanks

On Windows XP Firefox shows the menu bar by default and not the orange Firefox menu button that is shown when the menu bar is hidden. 
The menu bar is the toolbar at the top that shows menu items like File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help. 
You can press the F10 key or tap the Alt key to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily in case this bar is hidden (View > Toolbars or Firefox > Options).
The Navigation Toolbar shows the Back and forward button and the input field where you type the address of a site that you want to visit (aka location bar) and also has a search bar where you can type items that you want to look up with a search engine (Google).

With Firefox 4.0 I cannot find a lock icon designating a secure site even though it is indicated by "https". Is this an omission or do I need to turn on the feature?

The redesign of the browser for Firefox 4.0 seems to be missing the display of the lock icon that I am accustomed to looking for when seeking assurance that the site I am visiting is using Secure Socket Layer protection for my personal information. I can see the "https" designation in the address line but miss the added confirmation provided by the lock icon. I am running Windows XPPro SP3 and using Classic views instead of the standard XP theme - could this have something to do with it or do I need to turn on an option to have the lock shown?

The padlock has been replaced by the site identity button, for details on using it see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Site+Identity+Button

How do I remove the bookmark toolbar icons for websites? After updating to Firefox 22, add-ons don't help.

In the Bookmark Toolbar, the icons for websites take up too much space and are distracting. I used to use the Bookmarks - Deiconizer add-on but after updating to Firefox 22 it doesn't work anymore.
I tried adjusting the userChrome.css as in other posts but that does not work.
Please help!

Hi haweyext,
Did you see this thread from yesterday:
[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/964732 How do I keep the icons out of my Bookmarks Toolbar (tried Bookmarks Deiconizer) even after downloading files?]
If userChrome.css isn't working (note: you need to exit and restart Firefox before it takes effect), you can apply that rule to Firefox using the Stylish extension instead.
Does any of that help?

O.k. Thanks for the clarification. I poked around in my TimeCapsule router's settings (TimeCapsule is an Apple Airport Extreme router with attached hard drive for wireless backup/storage). Unfortunately, it doesn't look like I can disable multicasting with the TimeCapsule. I can change the multicasting 'rate'. Settings are Low, Medium, High. It's currently set to Low.
I did a few web searches, and found an Apple.com article: <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3789?viewlocale=en_US> which explained how to disable Bonjour Service Advertisements. I believe this is the same thing as 'Multicasting'. The process is a modification of "/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist", and a restart of the Mac is required afterwards.
I'm a bit concerned that disabling multicasting will interfere with my AppleTVs and iTunes music sharing, but I may try it next time I'm up for a computer workout. This task will require editing of system preference files, could require multiple restarts, might interfere with my AppleTVs, could interfere with my iTunes file sharing, doesn't have a documented relationship to my problem.
This is way to difficult for something that should just work. Did you say you had read something about a relationship between this bonjour multicasting and smb connectivity? If it was online could you post the link?
I'm currently able to connect to the drive using NFS, but I have to manually configure that connection each time I reboot (can't get the 'Disk Utility' configured to do it automatically). While it's working with NFS, it's not my preferred connect method (for various reasons).

Instructions to create custom home screen icons for websites and phone #'s

Here are instructions to create a home screen icon for a phone number or a website. This is very cool!
1. Go to http://webclip.us on your computer (not on your phone) and click on "create now".
2. In icon label, type what you want to call your icon.
3. In URL, type either the URL of the website you want to link to, or for a phone number link, type http://##########.tel.QLNK.net (where ########## is the 10 digit phone number you want).
4. In icon file, click the arrow to browse to the photo or image you want the icon to display.
5. Enter the security code shown, then click "upload now". You will get a "webclip number".
6. Now on your iPhone in Safari, go to http://webclip.us and enter the webclip number your computer just generated, and tap Go.
7. Use the plus sign to add the icon to your home screen, change the name to whatever you want, and you will have a cool little icon with the photo you uploaded!
If you used the phone number option, when you tap the icon on your home page, it will launch Safari and then pop up "Call" and "Cancel" buttons to call that phone number directly. If you used a website URL, it will launch that website just like a regular webclip.
So I now have an icon with my husband's face on it that dials his phone number. Very cool!!

Edit to make it clear that I don't take credit for creating this procedure - I simply found a reference to them in another post and posted the step-by-step here because it worked so well for me.

Do you know if this requires the 1.1.3 upgrade.. I got all the way through it until the end where it would not give me a plus sign or a way to add it.. wondering if it can be done with 1.1.2 thanks!

How to place an icon of a website (say my bank) onto my desktop for quick, regular access. Also, does firefox have an auto-fill feature?

https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Creating+a+desktop+shortcut+to+a+web+page
Firefox doesn't have a true "autofill", but rather a form autocomplete. 
[http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Form+autocomplete] 
'''The difference being that form autocomplete recalls form data you have completed previously, and sometimes has totally inappropriate suggestions. Whereas, autofill uses data that you set up ahead of time - not "form history", and has a lot better accuracy.'' 
There are a number of extensions that add a true "autofill" to Firefox.

HTTPS Lock Icon missing on pages which also have a Reader View

I navigated to a page which is protected by https (as verified using Firefox), and which also has a Reader View. On Safari, the Reader View icon (the 4 or so lines) appears on that page, but the Lock icon is not visible at all.
Is this a known issue?
For an example, see:
https://www.doba.com/basictrial/standard/3/

Yes, I noticed this as well. The workaround I have is, go to Windows and search for "On Screen". You will get to the On Screen Keyboard where you can toggle the Scroll Lock.
