After that update to Firefox 8, the secure gold lock that appears in the corner, when signing to websites is gone
Hi, I would like to know that when I sign in the Bank or other sites requiring a password that the site is secure. Firefox used to have a small lock gold down in the corner of the right hand to let you know that you signed in a secure site. After the upgrade to Firefox 8, that the lock is gone. How do you know if the page you log on is secure?
The status bar is gone and the 'blocking' with her, from Firefox 4.0. Safety information on a web page are shown by the Site identity button.
The former lock could give users a false sense that a site is safe to not to provide information to the site and showed that there is a secure connection that does not guarantee that you are connected to the right server. The Site identity button is introduced in Firefox 3.0 to show more complete information of 'identity' for HTTPS web pages.

The automatic update on Firefox poses a security problem as they say some sites
I just noticed that some sites say that the automatic update of Firefox is a security risk and I was wondering if it was true
No, it isn't. people work to update firefox to make it better and safer. and most recent version allows to block the pulgin in any page and indicates same elem in a secure page. It therefore becomes safer. Security risk may be running plugins such as java, shockwave etc so only run on trusted sites.

All of a sudden, after a update of firefox, I get "this connection is untrusted" for Facebook, no matter if I use http: or https:, WHY? Here are all the details of the error message:
This connection is Untrusted
You asked Firefox to connect safely to facebook.com, but we cannot confirm that your connection is secure.
Normally, when you try to connect safely, sites will present a reliable identification to prove that you're in the right place. However, the identity of this site cannot be verified.
What should I do?If you normally connect to this site without problems, this error can mean that someone is trying to impersonate the identity of the site, and you should not continue.
This site uses HTTP Strict Transport Security (HST) to specify that Firefox didn't connect safely. As a result, it is not possible to add an exception for this certificate.
Facebook.com uses an invalid security certificate.
The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is unknown.
(Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)
(Also included a screenshot).
COR - el said
You can check the date and time and time zone in the clock on your computer: (double) click on the clock icon in the Windows taskbar.
You can retrieve the certificate and check details such as WHO issued the certificates and the expiration dates of certificates.
- Click on the link at the bottom of the error page: "I understand the risks".
- Let Firefox recover the certificate: "Add Exception"-> "get certificate".
- Click on the button "View" and inspect the certificate and the Coachman, who is the issuer.
You can see more details like the intermediate certificates that are used in the Details tab.
If you cannot inspect the certificate by "I understand the risks", then try this:
Open the chrome URI by pasting or typing this URI in the address bar to open the window "Add the Security Exception" and to check the certificate:
- chrome://pippki/content/exceptionDialog.XUL
In the field location type and paste the URL of the Web site
- retrieve the certificate via the button 'Get certificate '.
- Click on the "view..." button. "to inspect the certificate in the certificate display
Check which is the issuer of the certificate.
You can get more details like the certificate chain in the Details tab of the certificate display.

When you connect to secure sites, there was a lock on the lower right part of the page that shows that the site is safe and secure. If the secure Web site wasn't sure a red line would cover the lock. I don't have it more since I've updated from 3.8 to 6. Are my secure such as banking etc. always secure sites. Why have I lost this lock symbol?
Padlock is therefore more part of Firefox; It has been removed from Firefox 4 the cadenas watch there is a secure connection, but provides no additional information. You could make a typographical error, and have always been connected to a secure connection. The lock was replaced in Firefox 3 with the Site identity button. Familiarize yourself with the Site identity button at the left end of the address bar:

Hello. I've recently updated my Firefox on my Mac and I can no longer add or send attachments on my hotmail email account. When I compose a new message or press on answer, the bar/button fastening is visible, but it does not respond when the mouse is over it. When I try to send an email with an attachment, the transfer email is displayed but the attachment is not present. I can, however, open attachments are sent to me.
I was able to fix before emails without problem, but have not been able to do since the upgrade of my Firefox browser. I followed a few older instructions that said to erase the recent cookies and cache, but that does not solve the problem.
Any suggestions? Thank you!
Solution!
I had read that I needed Silverlight installed to run those (and apparently it was already installed)... but after not seeing it helps any, I disabled it on my Mozilla Add - ons... and NOW I can add attachments!Mac OS x 10.6.4

BSOD and the only file that appears is ntkrnlpa.exe when you play Metal Gear Rising
So it's a bit complicated to explain especially because I downloaded Bluescreenview and the only file that appears is ntkrnlpa.exe and happens when I play Metal Gear Rising statement, which is a CPU intensive game, I thought it was because it was overheating and/or die but I downloaded Core Temp to monitor if my fan work and the max temp it reached is 65 degrees celsius so I can't find the problem, it happens randomly, once I could play 2 hours withouth a BSOD and the following 5 minutes, I also tried to reinstall but nothing happened, I only overclock my Gpu, my cpu is a pretty old 1.8 ghz dual core but it can still run any game well enough, I also tried the option veryfier.exe which led to my computer crash at startup , so I had to disable using safe mode, and it was down deamon tools, is my failing processor or windows give up and I need to reinstall?
Thanks for the help, the game does not cause me a BSOD since I've updated PCI sound card drivers which I didn't at first because the site is in a mixture of Japanese and really bad English.

After update of FF 40.0.2 three lines of the separator is appeared in "view your story. And they stay there even if the history is cleared.
The three dividing lines appear in 'show your history' if the string 'identity.fxaccounts.remote.webchannel.uri' has an empty value. If the default value (https://accounts.firefox.com/) after the reboot of lines three FF disappear.
According to me, that this string was missing or not defined in previous versions of FF.
I understand the FxAccountsWebChannel listening to certain types of events.
