Secure sites no longer display the lock symbol in lower right corner, how do I verify the security of a site?

On previous versions when logged onto a secure site a green lock symbol appeared in the lower right hand corner of the page. Since downloading the most current version of Firefox, this is no longer displayed. How then do I confirm the site I am on is encrypted?

The Statusbar is gone in Firefox 4.0 ''(six months ago)'' and the "lock" with it. Security information about a web page is shown by the Site Identity Button.<br />
The old padlock could give users a false sense that a site is secure by not supplying all of the information about a site and only showed that there is a secure connection that didn't guarantee that you are connected to the right server. The Site Identity Button was introduced in Firefox 3.0 to show more complete "identity" information for HTTPS web pages. <br />

You can add a padlock to the location bar with the Padlock add-on- https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/padlock-icon

  • Where is the picture of the "security lock" that used to be in my lower right corner??

    There used to be a picture of a "security lock" in my lower right corner, either on my start bar or immediately above it, to show you were safe to enter your credit card info. before shopping websites. I haven't seen the picture of a "security lock" since I upgraded to Firefox 4. ?????

    Was replaced in Firefox 3 the the '''Site Identity Button''' enveloping the favicon on the Location Bar, see

    The padlock on the former Status Bar indicated a secure connection (https:)

  • Clicking on the downward arrow at the right end of the location bar no longer displays the drop-down list of sites visited, bookmarks and addresses typed in location bar

    Since I upgraded to Firefox version 3.6.10, clicking on the downward arrow at the right end of the location bar no longer displays the drop-down list of sites visited, bookmarks and addresses typed in location bar. My Tools > Options > privacy setting is to save history, and if I start typing a previously accessed website's address in the location bar, then the full address appears as a drop-down item. But not when I just click at the right end of the bar.

    You can try "Reset all user preferences to Firefox defaults" on the [[Safe mode]] start window.
    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

  • Lock Screen function no longer displays the screensaver

    Something is wrong with my Lock Screen function.
    It no longer displays the screen saver when activated, but turns off the whole screen instead. The screensavers themselves work fine when activated automatically after the set time.
    I've repaired permissions, deleted caches and trashed ~/Preferences/com.apple.screensaver.plist (plus the ByHost ones), but it's still not working.
    Is this a known bug? Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance!

    there is nothing wrong with your lock screen function. it never activated screensaver. it just locks screen. always been that way. if you want to lock screen and run screensaver check the box in securityy preferences to require password to wake from sleep or screensaver. then assign a hot corner to activate screensaver in exposé system preferences and use that.

  • Outlook 2010 no longer displays the calendar and my contacts.

    After installing icloud, my Outlook 2010 no longer displays the calendar and my contacts, except in the icloud calendar and contacts listing. How do I restore Outlook calendar and contacts?

    Thanks Julian for the suggestion. Unfortunately all still checked out and nothing amiss. However, after reinstalling OS 10.6.8 it appears that my calendar items are syncing once again, but not my contacts. I appreciate the suggestion none the less.
    This same thing seems to happen each time I've upgraded Office with the associated version of Entourage, and now Outlook. Ah, well..nothing's ever simple. But I am thoroughly enjoying Outlook and the rest of the Office suite.

  • My apple tv main menu no longer displays the "movies" section, just internet, computers, and settings. Does anyone know why or how to get it back up? Recently rented a movie directly through apple tv but can't see the movies section in main menu now.

    My apple tv main menu no longer displays the "movies" section, just internet, computers, and settings. Does anyone know why or how to get it to show again? Recently rented a movie directly through apple tv but can't see the "movies" section in main menu now. WiFi and home sharing are working.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Check the location setting for the iTunes Store is correct.
    You might also try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router.
    If you are still having problems try a restore.

  • Since installing Firefox 4 I can't see the encryption symbol (e.g. for online banking)on the lower right corner

    Some sites are providing encryption certificates , so like ebay, and of course all internet banking sites. Previous versions of Firefox had been shown a symbol in the lower right corner (lock) with more details about the certificate. Is it still availabble, and how?
    Thanks for help and
    best regards
    Georg

    In Firefox 4 you no longer have the Status bar that showed the padlock in previous Firefox versions.<br />
    You can click the [[Site Identity Button]] on the left end of the location bar to see the padlock.
    A click on the "More Information" button will show details about the connection.
    The background color of the "Site Identity Button" on the left end of the location bar will change color (blue or green) and show the domain in case of a secure https connection.
    * Hover the Site Identity Button then to see "Verified by xxxx"
    * Click the [[Site Identity Button]] on the left end of the location bar to see the padlock
    * Click the "More Information" button in that pop-up to see additional information about the connection.
    You can also look at this extension:

  • Caps Lock indicator in lower right of screen

    When I hit Caps Lock, a display pops up in the lower right corner of the screen to notify me of the change.  It looks like this:
    http://i55.tinypic.com/15xez9.png
    How do I stop this from happening?  I've found a bunch of workarounds via Google, and they all either don't work for me or don't apply.

    Looks like you have a wireless (bluetooth) keyboard.
    Easy way (if you don't use Bluetooth)
    Click Start.
    Type MSCONFIG.
    Allow User Account Control? - click Yes.
    Click Startup tab.
    Remove check marks from "Bluetooth Software" and/or "HP Desktop Keyboard".
    Restart computer.
    If you want to only shut down the little graphical presentation and you want to keep the bluetooth icon, use the steps above to prevent "HP Desktop Keyboard" from loading, but do not remove the checkmark next to bluetooth.
    And then prevent the OSD for the bluetooth caps lock indicator by making a minor change in the registry:
    Click Start.
    Type REGEDIT.
    Allow User Account Control? - click Yes.
    To backup your registry (in case soething goes haywire), select Computer, click File menu, click Export, give a name and save.
    After backing up registry, open each of the following registry values (the little folders) in this path:  HKEY_LOCAL_MCHINE_\SOFTWARE\Widcomm\BTConfig\Gene​ral\
    Double-click the value KeyIndication in the list on the right.
    Change the hex value from a one (1) TO A ZERO (0).
    Close the registry editor window and restart your computer. You don't need to save anything - it happens on the fly (scary).

    Please post rather than send me a Message. It's good for the community and I might not be able to get back quickly. - Thank you.

  • Camera already on from lockscreen on iPhone 5c. How do I turn it off? The camera icon is running in the lower right corner and when I swipe up from the bottom of the lockscreen it brings up the camera running.

    My camera is already running from the lockscreen, the camera icon is displayed in the lower right corner and when I swipe up the control center it brings up the camera first. If I swipe up again I get the control center.  How do I stop the camera from staying on and coming up first?

    I thought the feature was for it to be available for me to use, not to swipe up and have the camera already going. The control panel is not coming up first, it is the camera. In order to get to the control panel I have to swipe up again and the camera is still going. Annoyingly, I have had to disable the camera from the control panel so it isn't coming up first, and now it is unavailable to use quickly.  

  • TS3999 In MONTH, (PC) iCal only clearly lists 2 items a day. The 3rd item is "faded" and bottom portion cut off, w/ a "more" triangle in the lower-right corner. How can I expand (vertically) so the 3rd line posts clearly, and ONLY shows "more" if 4+ event

    Better yet... as there's a lot of "wasted" space w/ too large Month title and empty space surrounding the Month title above and too much space surrounding the month/year slider bar below, how can I minimize these to allow me more usable / valuable calendar "contents" so I don't need to waste so much time clicking "more" just to see the bottom of the truncated third event and find out there are no 4+ events posted that date?  i.e. more "user-friendly" presentation?
    Thx!

  • HT5362 How to move the banners from the upper right corner to the low right corner of the screen on Mac (Mavericks)?

    How to move the banners from the upper right corner to the low right corner of the screen on Mac (Mavericks)?
    Sometimes, when I am about to click something in the upper right corner, the banners stand in the way. It is very annoying.
    However, I still need them and it is not an option to completely turn off notifications.
    Has anybody faced the same problem?

    Yeah, i've been playing around a bit with Notifications, and not being able to move there location is very annoying. The default location  normally means it is covering one or more tabs in Safari (or any tabbed application for that matter). Might have to try Growl again.

  • HT202190 Where is the "Settings icon in the lower right corner of the Home Sharing window."?

    Where is the "Settings icon in the lower right corner of the Home Sharing window."? Anybody else doesn't find it? Is it because of I have the most updated version of iTunes? Have things changed?

    What I had to do is send to my iPhone from my Mac, respond to the resulting alert, choose the action button while the destination was highlighted, and then save the address to favorites.

  • How can I disable the Facebook Notification in Firefox 6 which takes my focal point from what I am typing until I close the notification in the lower right corner.

    When I have Facebook open, I get pop-ups in the lower right corner that tell me that I have new notifications or messages in Facebook. When the little pop-up shows, no matter what I am typing, my cursor is taken away until I click the x to close the pop-up. It is very annoying and slows me down so much. It disables my typing.
    If this cannot be resolved, I will either go back to version 5 or uninstall Firefox completely.

    Do a custom install and install each version in its own program folder to use multiple Firefox versions.

    Create a new profile exclusively for each Firefox version.<br />
    Create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch each Firefox version with its own profile.
