Secrurity padlock is not showing on secure sites since I updated too Firefox 5

A padlock symbol used to appear in the header part of the screen when visiting a secure site such as a bank, this does not now happen.

Beginning with Firefox 4, the padlock is no longer a part of Firefox; it can give users a false sense that a site is secure by not supplying all of the information about a site. Familiarize yourself with the '''''Site Identity Button''''' in Firefox:

You can install an add-on to show a padlock in the URL/Location/Address bar:

  • IPAD2 not connecting to some sites since IOS update

    Since the recent IOS 8 update, my IPAD will not connect to some sites.  It reads servere not found.  I'm trying to get onto my work site which is very important.  Now, my IPAD seems useless for work.  I have turned off and back on which did not help.  I have read that resetting it doesn't help either.  Please help.

    i checked for updated firmware on the d'link dir-615 router back in september when this first happened (after the ios6 update) but the firmware was already up to date - although the last update was 2009. 
    This was my first clue.
    After further research, I discovered that all DIR series products have been discontinued by D'Link.  This means that when apple is preparing for a software update, it requests all software/hardware specs from wifi router companies like D'Link, Netgear, Garmin, Cysco, etc.  Since D'LInk no longer produces DIR series routers, they did not provide the info.  D'Link only provided info for it's newest line of wireless routers. 
    Leaving all existing DIR users in the dust, with a failed strategy that we'd all buy the new line of wifi routers.
    Yesterday, I purchased an Apple wifi router, although pricey at $99, i plugged it in, typed the network name and pw want to use, and it was up and running in less than 5 minutes.  The apple router will recieve software/firmware updates just as my iphone, macbook, & ipad does. Everything is working perfectly, and the higher price is worth the convenience and reliability.
    If anyone makes it this far, the only thing left would be to check with your internet service provider (comcast, RCN, etc) and make sure you have the most up to date modem.  some folks are unable to send text & pic messages on wifi using an out of date modem. (i didn't have to replace mine, but i'm also not having this issue now that i have the new apple wifi router.)
    Hope this helps at least a few people out there.

  • ITunes 9.0.1 not showing my iPod Touch since I installed OS 10.5.8

    Your help, please...
    iTunes 9.0.1 is not showing my iPod Touch since I installed OS 10.5.8.
    Your ideas are welcome, because I'm out of them.
    Thank you,
    Dean Leutscher

    It looks like part of the crash report is missing. But at the top of your message it states there's an issue with the xmlTextReader in Pages. I guess this means Pages is having trouble opening, closing or saving the document.
    If this only happens with one Pages document then it may just be corrupt.
    If this happens with any Pages document then I'd suggest deleting Pages, reinstalling it from DVD/Mac App Store, updating it and then trying to work with a document.
    If this doesn't answer your question please provide more information eg what steps to take to cause the problem, if it happens with one or many documents, if you get any error message at all, etc.

  • ICal is not showing some past events since I upgraded to Lion.

    iCal is not showing some past events since I upgraded to Lion. I can find the past events in mail but if I click and open them, they are not showing up on the calendar. Advice? I am trying to recreate my schedule from past meetings.

    I love computers.
    Have managed to fix this already. Been working the issue for a few days now, and a few minutes after writing the above post I decided to reset the Time Capsule to factory default settings.
    After entering all my details again (used same network names, passwords etc) the Time Capsule was rebooted. When it came back on line - guess what? Yep, the MyBook WD drive is now visibile. I can connect via the network from my other machines to the drive, and iTunes is back.
    So - thought I would post my resolution in case it helps others.

  • Can not open my msn mail since I updated Firefox, get connection timed out error

    Since we updated our Firefox to the last version I have not been able to open my email at msn/live.com We have 3 computers networked and it will not open on any of them. However, my husbands account [email protected] opens. I can open it on my home computer but not at our office and it is our office email. Can you help? I've cleared the cache through the tools/options/etc. It will not open on IE either.
    Thanks. Since I can not open this email account I have a yahoo account at [email protected]

  • Since I updated to firefox 3.6 I keep gettin multiple popup windows. This did not happen until after the update. The popups appear as regular windows so popup blockers can not stop them.

    Since I updated to firefox 3.6 I keep gettin multiple pop up windows. This did not happen until after the update. The pop ups appear as regular windows so pop up blockers can not stop them. Why has the new update made my laptop more vulnerable. updates are supposed to be improvements!
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == as soon as I updated to ver 3.6

    Im having the same problem, I updated my Iphone 4S to 6.1.3, shortly after that my phone had no audio. It was working fine one minute and then stopped. Was listening to music when sound gave out on me. It wont ring, phone just vibrates even after turning off vibration option. I've tried all the options listed and nothing. My phone has never been jailbroken either. If I connect the earphones is works perfectly. On one of my last calls received, phone's ringtone was heard for about 2 seconds before muting and just vibrating. Ringtone sounded perfect, speakers did not sound damaged. 
    What else could be done? I've read several post regarding this and it seems like Apple has no solution to this yet. Very dissappointed.

  • No toolbar at bottom of page so no padlock shows on secure sites - how do I know they're safe for credit card payments ?

    On Firefox 4 there is no toolbar at the bottom of the page. Secure sites e.g. my bank under the previous Firefox displayed a padlock in the bottom righthand corner. Yesterday I wanted to buy an item online but didn't as there was no padlock. How do I now know a site is safe ? Thanks da1sy

  • The latest version does not show the security pad-lock, concerned about on-line purchases.

    When you go to make purchases you always had a pad-lock in the lower right corner letting you know it was secure. This latest version does not and I'm concerned about on-line purchases.

    In Firefox 4 you no longer have the Status bar that showed the padlock in previous Firefox versions.<br />
    The padlock only shows that there is a secure connection and doesn't guarantee that you are connected to the right server.<br />
    So you might still be connected to the wrong server if you make a typo in the URL and someone has claimed that mistyped URL.<br />
    The functionality of the padlock has been replaced by the [[Site Identity Button]] on the left end of the location bar.

  • External discs not showing after Security Update

    Did recent security update and all of a sudden one of my external drives which has worked fine on a Belkin hub for months is not showing up in Finder.
    Fearing the drive may have failed I connected it to a Macbook running Leopard and it was nstantly seen.
    iDisk was also not showing up for mtime to time.
    Anyone else having Finder issues since updating?
    AC

    OK verified the system (OK) and external drive.
    External drive had wrong free block count which has repaired.
    The thing still isn't recognised on either Belkin powered hub but is recognised if I unplug the hub and connect it direct. Other identical external drives (I have several of the same make/model/capacity) work fine via the hub.
    The problem drive spins up, the hub does not illuminate an LED for that USB socket (unlike the ones that work), then the drive spins down.
    Connecting direct to the Mac and the drive spins up, spins down, then spins u again, and this pattern is completely reproducible.
    If this were a pending hardware failure I'd expect startups to be random on the hub or the main USB port but they're not.
    Very odd.
