“I’m running dutifully the pre-release versions of Firefox 3
since the alpha releases and have seen the changes the browser has
made during this time. A big surprise was however how something
very significant changed suddenly after updating to the first
release candidate. Before that, I had always the address bar
colored in yellow when connected to a secure site. Needless to say
that due to my job, that most site I’m accessing are secured, being
it internal administrative interfaces, our own public sites or that
of our subscribers (which need some help here and there). I’m sure
I’m not the only one who has his eyes trained to look for that
indicator.“As with Firefox 3 release candidate 1 the yellow address bar is
gone–he address bar remains white as with regular pages, there is
no padlock to see nor any other visual indicator…”
