I recently upgraded to Firefox 4.0.1. It looks a little different than the last version, which is no big deal except that I cannot find the little yellow lock symbol that normally appears when you are on a secure shopping site.

So the question is, how do I tell whether or not the site is secure?

Has anyone else noticed this?

Last time I "upgraded" Firefox it crapped out completely and would "forget" the last session (didn't load the pages from the last time). So I started using Opera. I already had it on my computer and so far it hasn't "forgotten."

I guess I've lucked out as I haven't had any problems yet. Just this security issue, which TC clued me in on.

Quite often, you have an old configuration in the user identity files in your Firefox configuration.

Sometimes, you have to create a new user identity in Firefox and then just transfer your bookmarks and re-enter your passwords.

If you are a guru at Firefox, you can go into the SQLite database in Firefox 3 or later to manipulate a lot of stuff manually. Install the SQLite 0.6.8 extension (or later) to have a powerful SQL database editor of the tons of database settings in Firefox 3 and later version.

You can use a text editor to fix a lot of other user stuff in the user settings folder, including modifying your own extensions. To find the profile folder on Windows XP and later, look for the following folder:

C:_Documents and Settings_Your_User_Name_Application Data_Mozilla_Firefox [replace _ with backslashes]

Sometimes an upgrade will fail if you have modified your about:config settings. (You can look at these by entering "about:config" in your address bar. You can learn a lot in there but do not change anything if you don't understand it!

I did edit and add to my earlier post about how to get a lock icon in FF4.
