Where is the FF4 "lock" icon that indicates secure and encrypted transmission?

Prior to FF4 upgrade, a 'lock' icon would appear on bottom of screen to indicate when of if transmission was secure. With FF4 this icon never appears (or I don't know where to find it). Does it have a new location? Is there some way to have it return for those sites with which transmission will be encrypted?

The lock has been replaced by the [[Site Identity Button]], which will tell you whether the connection is encrypted ''and'' the identity of the web site on the other end of the connection.
The reason for this change is that it is important to verify identity, not just security. The "lock" icon could be misleading, because an encrypted connection is not actually secure unless the identity is verified too.

  • What has happened to the 'little lock icon' that tells me site safe?

    There used to be a 'little yellow lock' icon at the bottom of the browser page when I did my banking or when I logged in on ebay etc.. This icon let me know it was safe to use the page/site. When I updated to Firefox 6.0.2. for Windows English the yellow lock icon no longer appears. What has happened to it? Is it there and I need to retrieve some how or have you done away with it...and why?

    In Firefox 4 and later 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    The functionality of the padlock has been replaced by the [[Site Identity Button]] on the left end of the location bar.

    My grandparents just bought a new macbook and they are trying to locate the "Macintosh HD" icon. Mine is on my desktop, but they are saying that theirs doesn't have one. Can anyone help me locate it?

    Click on the Desktop then select Preferences from the Finder menu. Click on the General icon in the toolbar. Check the boxes for the items you want displayed. Click on the Sidebar icon in the toolbar to configure what is displayed in the sidebar.

  • What causes the rainbow swirling icon that locks a program such as address book?

    What causes the rainbow swirling icon that locks a program such as address book? And how do I get out of it?

    The Finder is just assigning the wrong kind and icon to what I presume are plist files. Often rebuilding the Launch Services will cure this, but sometimes Finder gets a strange bee in its bonnet about some particular combination of characteristics and what they mean, and it can't be dissuaded. Unless you are opening plist files, and get really annoyed when you double click one and Address Book launches and announces "wrong type of file" you can just ignore it. In my own ~/Library/Prefences folder plists are generally labeled correctly, probably because I have them assigned to open with Apple's own Property List Editor. But there are some other preferences that Finder has decided are something altogether different than what they are: WingNuts Prefs and Saved Games are both believed to be Eudora preferences; a whole batch of other prefs from a dozen differenct programs are described as TextWrangler preferences, and there's a another group thought to be Unix Executables. As long as the program they belong to isn't having a problem finding and writing to them, don't worry about it.

  • On ffox4 where is padlock icon that denotes secure website

    in firefox 3 the padlock icon in lower right hand corner of screen indicated an https web page. in firefox 4 this icon is missing-at least in my installation. is there a way to get this back in ff4?

    The "Site Identity button", which provides a lot more pertinent information about a web site, was introduced in Firefox 3, and was used along with the "Security Lock icon"; that "Lock icon" was finally removed from Firefox 4 versions. <br />

  • 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

  • I have an Acer Aspire 7741. I want to disable the CAPS LOCK ICON. It interferes with my work.

    I have an Acer Aspire 7741.  I want to disable the CAPS LOCK ICON because it interferes with my work.  Microsoft states this is a  utility that is on the computer, not something that is controlled by Windows software.  Help, please.  This is the only computer I use that does this and it's quite annoying at times.

    it must already be installed on your system, normally it enables the Fn+F functions and over things like Caps lock. http://global-download.acer.com/GDFiles/Application/LaunchManager/LaunchManager_Dritek_4.0.5_W7x86W7x64_A.zip?acerid=634061190269930459&Step1=NOTEBOOK&Step2=ASPIRE&Step3=ASPIRE%207741&OS=ALL&LC=en&BC=ACER&SC=PA_6

    The window that opens when I click on the Time Machine icon is Finder (devices) and when I close this Time Machine also closes.

    You will need to be much more specific about what you problem is. That is how TM works. That is how you find things to restore from TM, by using a Finder window so that you can browse through the Mac's hierarchy of folders and files.

    I've made good progress, and next need to modify the "Eject CD" icon that appears in the dock when ejecting a CD or hard disk. Does anyone know the folder location of the icon the Dock uses? I couldn't find it in the Dock's resources folder like the "trashempty.png" and "trashfull.png" files.

    OK folks...thanks to Bee (thank you!) I can post a screen shot of the icon I'm referring to....
    Fantastic!  There it is...in all it's glory....look up in the corner, it's a bird, it's a plane...it's...??????
