Since installing firefox update I no longer have a padlock displayed when on secure sites. Is this still OK?

Since installing Firefox update today, 11/11/2011, when entering secure web sites I no longer have the display of a padlock. I still have Https. I am wondering if the security of these sties is still OK.

The Statusbar is gone and the "lock" with it as of Firefox 4.0. 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

Since I downloaded the firefox update I no longer have the firefox screen and not all my bookmarks will work. Why?

After I downloaded the latest update firefox as I knew it disappeared. The opening screen no longer shows the fox logo. The search box on the toolbar lists as conduit search. And I am finding that not all my bookmarks still work. Example-I have to go to att to access my mail. That is fine if that is the way it is supposed to work but if so I would like to know how to change my home screen--or at least the first thing I see when firefox opens to the att site as I generally use my computer for email. I am also accustomed to using google search and as I am a crazy old cat lady I am not really ready to change the way I am familiar with my computer.
Ideally, could I get the fox picture screen with the google search and the ability to click on the bookmark labeled mail back on my computer???
I am not computer literate unless it acts as it always has. Thanks, Dawn

hello dawn, please be aware that there are malicious websites out there which will trigger fake update notices/popups which try to trick you into downloading software bundled with adware. please never click on such websites or execute such files on offer - updates are handled automatically by firefox and you don't have to download any file for it (you can always manually check if you're up-to-date by going to ''firefox > help > about firefox'').
please try these steps to regain your firefox:
# [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]] (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
# afterwards go to firefox > addons > extensions and in case there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
# go to the windows control panel and remove all software recently installed where you don't know which purpose it has or otherwise looks suspicious.
# finally run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] and [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] to make sure that adware isn't present in other places of your system as well.

Since installing Mavericks I can no longer scroll in Mail. Has any one else had this issue?

I have only had this issue since the latest update.
Any suggestions on a solution?

Miraculously, on starting up this morning, mail is functioning normally. Have to consider this question "closed"!

I no longer see the padlock sign when on https sites. Why? And is the web page secure?

When making payments etc on https sites I used to get a padlock symbol on the address line or bottom right hand corner tool bar. This was a symbol I had been told to check for to ensure the page is secure. I no longer see the padlock symbol on https sites since I upgraded to Firefox 4? On the tool bar at the top all I get is the golden star for book marking a page and nothing on the bottom tool bar.Why? And is the page still secure?

The padlock has been replaced by the site identity button, for details on using it see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Site+Identity+Button
If you want to add a padlock icon to the location bar, you can use the Padlock add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/padlock-icon/

I'v noticed with firefox 4 , when entering secured sites ,for example Banking ,it used show a Padlock indicating its a secure site with this new version it does not show if im entering a secured site , please explain

Secured sites are not showing that little padlock on the bottom right corner,like the old version of firefox did, indicating its a safe site, example banking,emails etc etc.not sure weather im safe or not please explain.

The padlock has been removed in Firefox 4 and replaced with the [[Site Identity button]]
Install this add-on to get it back: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/padlock-icon/

Since a recent update i no longer have a send button.All that is left is the quick filter tool bar

When i open my messages i have at the right reply ,forward,archive,junk and delete.When i select reply and the write page appears there is no longer a send button or attachment icon anywhere.How can I get it back to how it was?

'''Open a Write window.'''
Do you have a menu bar with File-Edit-View etc? If not press the''' alt''' key.
From the menu bar select '''View-Toolbars''' and turn the missing toolbars back on. Send is on the Composition Toolbar.

Since installing Firefox 29, my router constantly reboots on its own

Since installing Firefox 29, my router constantly reboots on its own. Is anyone else having this problem? And could it indeed be caused by Firefox?

Do you have any security software that may undo changes and restore a previous setup?

Since installing Firefox Sync my master password is requested randomly.

Since installing Firefox Sync my master password is requested randomly. is there a way of stopping this happening.

Somewhere around Firefox 29, Firefox changed how Sync accounts work. Please see this article for more information: [[How to update to the new Firefox Sync]]. If you can't do that in Firefox 33, you may want to install Firefox 29 temporarily to do the account change, and then update to Firefox 33. This article has information on how to find clean old versions of Firefox: [[Install an older version of Firefox]].

Java no longer working properly since last firefox update

Since the latest firefox update, Java no longer works as it should on my banking website. The authorisation procedure uses Java, but the box freezes and does not finish loading. It still works fine on IE. I use Windows 7.

Mozilla are aware of the issue in Firefox 3.6.14 with some Java applets not working and are working on a fix, no timescale but they are planning on a quick release.

Since my Firefox update this week, Thurdasday, it has crashed 10 times for no reason. What's up

Since the Firefox update was sent out this week. I keep having unexpected crashes. There does not seem to be a pattern. It does send you reports. But just this morning it has crashed twice. Yesterday it crashed three times and the day before two. I switched to using Chrome and have not had an issue.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firefox_crashes
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Firefox+crashes
If you have submitted Breakpad crash reports then post the IDs of one or more Breakpad crash reports (bp-xxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx). You can find the IDs of the submitted crash reports on the about:crashes page. You can open the about:crashes page via the location bar, like you open a website.

Since installing Firefox 4, screen goes black when dormant and will not automatically reopen on first try.

Since installing Firefox 4, if I leave the computer (desktop with a Viewsonic VG1930wm monitor), the monitor will go to blackscreen...not the starfield screensaver. If I move the mouse, the screen will only momentarily go back to the last desktop...and then almost immediately black screen again. I typically have to turn the monitor on and off five or six times...and move the mouse each time, before it will stay open to the desktop. Any ideas?

Standard troubleshooting steps in order are as follows:
Power the iPad off and on.
An iPad reset, which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release.
Restore your iPad with iTunes from your iPad's backup.
Restore your iPad with iTunes as a new iPad or not from your iPad's backup.
If no change after the last step, your iPad has a hardware problem.
