Title: Firefox question for all of you guru's out there

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.

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

Cool. I attempted to download padlock but it tells me that it is incompatible with my Firefox. For some reason it thinks I am using 3.5.2. I know I am not because if I go to help and the to "About Firefox," it states that I am on version 4.0.1. Hell, I was on 3.6.? prior to the upgrade so I have no idea what it its talking about.

I would suggest rebooting if you haven't done so since the FF4 upgrade.

BTW, that part in my previous post about finding your Profiles folder and .ini file? You can back up that folder and use it to downgrade to a previous version. You can also put it on a memory stick and use that to synchronize all your browser settings, bookmarks, passwords, history, extensions, literally everything, from one machine to another, as long as both machines have the same version of Firefox. I make a backup of mine every few months, just in case. And I transfer it to my laptop to keep it in sync with my main computer. Very handy.

Of course, this advice is too late to help you. You already upgraded so it probably changed your Profile and you probably couldn't use the new profile to downgrade back to FF3.

This thread has cured me of any desire/thought of up-grading.

Thank you, all.

Another charming extension, very simple: InstantFox

Does a variety of searches from the address bar, g for Google, m for Google Maps, w for Wikipedia, y for Youtube, etc.
