Why has the latest version removed the Padlock for sites requiring log in?

It is taking too long, on high speed cable, to log in to my online banking. The response from my institution was that the latest version of Firefox had removed the Padlock icon for sites requiring a log in. I want to know why it was removed.

The padlock only shows that there is a secure connection and doesn't guarantee that you are connected to the right server. 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. The functionality of the padlock has been replaced by the Site Identity Button on the left end of the location (address) bar.

This has actually existed since Firefox 3.0
If you still want a padlock icon also then

  • Why has the language for the texts on my iphone changed to French?

    iphone has gone mad. The language for the texts has switched to french. The keyboard is the french layout, despite under settings>general>international>language being set to english and keyboard under ...settings>general>international>keyboard>english (UK)>being QWERTY.....which it isn't. It means the auto correct is a nightmare. Any help gratefully received.

    To be honest these are the solutions that may or may not work.
    First thing I would try is rebooting the phone by holding the sleep/wake button and home button for 15 seconds until you see the white apple logo.
    If that doesn't work I would restore from backup. If that doesn't work I would restore as new. If all else fails take it to your closest apple store they may replace the phone for a working one..

  • Ipad3, using iPhoto, running the latest IOS6, I'm a photographer, please tell me why has the delete (X) been removed in iPhoto?

    Ipad3, using iPhoto, running the latest IOS6, I'm a photographer, please tell me why has the delete (X) been removed in iPhoto?

    Ralph, again thanks for the input, but I respectfully disagree.  I have been using iPhoto with the iPad3 since it was launched.  I have taken and imported at a minimum 6-7k pictures and have used the same methodology of editing and deleting photos (inside of iPhoto app), using the delete (X) on the task bar.  I'm an IT project manager as well as an certified software consultant, in other words, I have a better than average knowledge and understanding of apps and the functionality.  My only point is that something that was quite functional and very user friendly has now become far more difficult. It was only 9 bucks and a pretty good little piece of software, I'll just find something else that is less time consuming and will check back for iPhoto update and from time to time.  Again, thank you for your feedback. 

  • Why has the Tecra M11-11M only got the 32-bit version of Windows 7?

    Why has the Tecra M11-11M only got the 32-bit version of windows 7 and not the 64-bit?
    Surely the i7 and 4gb can cope with the demands and the 64-bit version would allow more efficient use of the computing power.
    Many thanks,

    Good question but Im afraid only Toshiba marketing division has right answer to your question.
    I just presume they create own decision based on market research.
    You can try to install own 64bit version if the drivers, tools and utilities are available.

  • Why has the Facetime application been removed from the iphone in dubai.

    Why has the Facetime application been removed from the iphone  in dubai??

    You will have to contact the government to find out why they ordered it removed.  An iPhone purchased there can never have it added back in, even in a country where FaceTime is legal.

    That was the first thing I check, my X no longer exist, the app still works fine and does everything it did in the past, the the x (delete) option is no longer there.  I have deleted and redownloaded the app and did a complete reset, X still not there as an option.  Is anyone else experiencing this problem? 

  • HT203167 why has the last minute 20 seconds suddenly disappeared from a song?

    why has the last minute 20 seconds suddenly disappeared from a song?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try deleting the problematic file (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
    You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app) on your iOS device.
    If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

  • I was wondering why the iPhone 5 has the option for a battery percentage and the iPod touch 5g doesn't? I mean... they are almost both the same thing... just the iPod does not have the phone.

    I was wondering why the iPhone 5 has the option for a battery percentage and the iPod touch 5g doesn't? I mean... they are almost both the same thing... just the iPod does not have the phone.

    One likely reason is the % battery is not that accurate because of the smaller battery capacity in the iPod compared to iPhone and iPad. Users why use a % battery app post that the % reading changes a lot.

  • HT5429 Why has the maps app gone so sour in IOS6 can I revert to IOS5?

    Why has the maps app gone so sour in IOS6.The images at any reasonable magnification are colourless and so fuzzy as to be useless.I loved my old Google based system which even allowed me to look into my house window from the street view function.I wish I had never accepted the invitation to upgrade to IOS6 I would like to go back tithe old system

    Google and Apple have apparently parted ways in the 'bundled apps' area.
    If you don't like the bundled map app, then your option is to look for a replacement in the app store.

  • Why has the "Job" movie been loading for the past 3 days?  I have a 10Mb Uverse Internet connection.

    Why has the "Job" movie been loading for the past 3 days?  I have a 10Mb Uverse Internet connection.movie

    It should not take more than 4 hr.   Is there any indication it is making process?  i.e.  When you click on it to play do you get a message like "Will be avialable in 2hr 34 min"?  Is that time changing?  I would cancel the download.  Restart ATV and then retry.  If it goes more than 4hr then there is an issue. 
    As another option you can always download the movie to your computer and use the iTuens menus to play it from your computer under the Computers icon.
