Why don't I see a Padlock symbol in URL Bar when banking/buying etc. with Firefox? How do I know link is secure?

Usually, when banking, or buying something on line, there will be
a Padlock symbol, to ensure your transaction/payment info is secure. This is usually seen in the URL address search bar, but I don't see that with Firefox. Why?

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The functionality of the padlock has been replaced by the [[Site Identity Button]] on the left end of the location bar.

  • Why can't I see the "http" on my address bar when I access a website anymore ?

    In previous version I can see the "http" when I access a website (ex: yahoo.com) Now I can't see it anymore. I want to see it on my address bar. How can I figure it out ?

    Users can revert to the old behavior by setting '''browser.urlbar.trimURLs''' to '''false''' in '''about:config'''.<br>
    <br>
    <br>
    To change this preference:<br>
    <br>
    type about:config in the Location/URL bar and press Enter.<br>
    if you see a warning, accept (promise to be careful)<br>
    Filter: browser.urlbar.trimURLs<br>
    in lower panel, double-click that item to toggle value to false<br>

    Reboot your router. The icon only shows when connected to wifi and Apple TV or similar device. Same thing happened with my phone and the icon appeared in control center after router reboot.

    Why don't I see any option to rent films in iTunes? I only see the option to purchase

    Yeah I agree, especially when some movies cost a whopping $20!! Kinda ridddiculous. Hopefully Apple or the film producers will realize they can still make a profit - if not more - if they just let us rent! Ahh!
    Thanks again Jules and Happy New Year to u!!

    Hi Uri,
    What OS you are using?
    Lightroom CC won’t be shown in the Creative Cloud desktop application if your system doesn’t meet the minimum system requirements. It’s likely you are on a system with Mac OS 10.7 or earlier, or a 32-bit version of Windows 7 or 8. If you system meets the minimum requirements, try signing out and back into the Creative Cloud application and see if the Apps panel updates.
    Please let me know if this is not the case.
    Regards,
    Sumit Singh

  • Why don't I see the little plus sign (+)

    Why don't I see the little plus sign(+) to the right of an open tab? The one that allows you to open a new tab? I updated two other computers and there's no problem (one is using XP and the other is Windows 7). I can open a new tab by pressing "ctrl t" but I don't want to do it that way.
    Anyone else have this issue? Should I try reinstalling the update?

    Hello! Thanks for your question.
    See if this works for you. Sometimes the problem is caused by a corrupted file.
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information. Note: This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Why don't I see an option for lightroom?

    Why don't I see an option for lightroom? I have downloaded creative cloud and have photoshop option, but I don't see LR, which I expected to install.
    Thanks!

    Hi Peggyh,
    If you're a paying Creative Cloud member, you may not see Lightroom in the Creative Cloud if your computer doesn't meet the minimum system requirements. Check to make sure that your system meets the http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/system-requirements-lightroom.html
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html may also work.
    Let me know if it helps.

    The CC Desktop app has always been a little flakey.

  • Does Adobe Send allow you to select how many days your files can be downloaded - as with Adobe Send Now? Also, why don't I see the virus scanning message any longer with "Send" versus "Send Now"?

    Does Adobe Send allow you to select how many days your files can be downloaded - as with Adobe Send Now? Also, why don't I see the virus scanning message any longer with "Send" versus "Send Now"?

    We relied upon the "days available for download" to get people to take
    action more quickly. The "virus scanning" progress bar was simply another
    way of knowing this activity was actually taking place - unless this is
    written somewhere in the Adobe Send User Guide.....wherever that is.

  • Why can't I see still images in the playback monitor when editing a video?

    Why can't I see still images in the playback monitor when editing a video? I have rendered the images in the project.  I checked my system to make sure it meets all the requirements for the software, no problem there.  When I "share" the project and save it as an MPEG, the images show up in WMP just fine.  But I need to be able to see what I'm doing to the stills while I am editing.  Help!

    Many thanks for the reply with the details.
    But, the key is missing...what version of Premiere Elements are you using? Are you using Premiere Elements 10?
    I hope not in this case, but if you are, we will tell you what needs to be done. The following is a copy/paste of the Announcement
    at the top of this forum about the Premiere Elements 10/NVIDIA GeForce issue.
    Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
    If you are a Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card and you are experiencing
    Premiere Elements 10 display and/or unexplained program behavior, then your first line of troubleshooting needs to be rolling
    back the video card driver version instead of assuring that it is up to date.
    Since October 2013 to the present, there have been a growing number of reports about display and unexplained workflow
    glitches specific to the Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer has a NVIDIA GeForce video card. If this applies
    to you, then the “user to user” remedy is to roll back the NVIDIA GeForce video card driver as far as is necessary to get rid of
    the problems. The typical driver roll back has gone back as far as March – July 2013 in order to get a working Premiere
    Elements 10. Neither NVIDIA nor Adobe has taken any corrective action in this regard to date, and none is expected moving forward.
    Since October 2013, the following thread has tried to keep up with the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA reports
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1317675
    Older NVIDIA GeForce drivers can be found
    http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us
    A February 2014 overview of the situation as well as how to use the older NVIDIA GeForce drivers for the driver roll back
    can be found

  • Using Application Manager, why can't I see my CS5.5 applications, just CS6 lists to buy?

    I am migrating my CS5.5 apps from an old XP laptop to a new Win8. Also Acrobat Pro, so I am using Application Manager to make sure I am not offending version copy allowances, but Application Manager is not showing any of the apps on my system, jut CS6 to buy and a couple trials. Where are my current Adobe applications?

    GMM

    Once you save that to a location on your system.
    Make sure Acrobat is Quit and then do this:
    1.  In the Finder go to the "Go" menu.
    2. Select Go to Folder
    3.  Paste this path into the "Go to the Folder:" field
    /Applications/Adobe Acrobat XI Pro/Adobe Acrobat Pro/Contents/Resources/JavaScripts/
    4. Copy the file into the JavaScripts folder.
    5. Launch Acrobat
    Now you should see the menu spoken of in the blog and web page.
