If http: is grayed out in the address bar is a security warning?

I had a recent problem with Windows 7 and icons blurry bleeding through the menu bar.

In researching it, I came across a statement that if the http is grey on in the address bar, this means a security problem and you can be monitored.

I never even noticed this on the address bar but the http: is grayed out and the rest of the address is in black letters. This w/o the cursor on the address bar. When I put the cursor on the address bar, then the full address shows black including the http.

Is it really a security problem?

Thank you

Hello Doug,

Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.

I would like to know some information about the problem so that we can help you better.

The problem is specific to any particular browser such as Internet explorer?

Thank you for details on the issue.

This problem can occur either because of incorrect browser settings or if any infection as malware or virus is present in Windows.

I would suggest trying the following methods and check if it helps.

Method 1:
Run this Microsoft fixit and check number.
Reference:
Troubleshoot Internet Explorer to IE quick, safe and stable
https://support.Microsoft.com/en-us/mats/ie_performance_and_safety/en-us
(Valid for all versions of Internet explore in Windows 7)

If this does not help, use method 2.

Method 2:
Microsoft safety scanner run and check.
Reference:
Microsoft safety scanner
http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

I hope this information helps.

Please let us know if you need more help.

Thank you

    I left all the Google services currently, I used Gmail, Chrome, etc... due to the recent sale of information to the Gov't and what not and even though she may or may not be true I'm sure and switched to Firefox and a different email provider. In any case so far, I like Firefox I use DuckDuckGo as my current default search and I would use as my search engine when I type a search in the address bar, by default it is Google, how can I change to a search provider I want as DuckDuckGo?

    Hello

    If you have installed DuckDuckGo on Firefox, you can follow these steps:

    1. Type of topic: config in the address bar.
    2. A warning appears, click on "I'll be careful, I promise!
    3. Type browser.search.defaultEngine in the search at the top of the page box.
    4. Double-click the item that appears.
    5. Set the value to DuckDuckGo or any search engine you want to use (the case I think).

  • 4EA2 'RUN' is grayed out in the contextual menu for the SYS package

    I am running in a database of Oracle 11 g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0 - Production of 64-bit environment.

    I use the version of SQL Developer release Early Adopter 2 4.

    SQL Developer 3.2, while it is connected to a specfic scheme, it was possible in the Connections window, expand the menu item from other users, so the SYS menu item, then the PACKAGES menu item and select a package, and using the context menu 'run '. ' Run PL/SQL ' window would appear, and I could enter the appropriate settings and run a procedure in this package. I think in particular of the DBMS_ERRLOG package.

    In 4EA2, following the same path, the command "Run", well visible, is grayed out. The combination of keys "Ctrl + F10" alternative works. Please restore the "Run" command in the active state (not greyed out) in the context menu.

    Hi wine,

    Perhaps the scenario you describe is the same as a bug fixed for EA3:

    Bug 17601294 - LOW PRIV USER CANNOT RUN the PACKAGE IN the SCHEMA STRANGER WITH EXECUTE PRIV

    A small detail of the test case it (nothing mentioned about Ctrl-F10, however):

    1. create user ONLY CONNECT, RESOURCES, SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE.
    2 Grant EXECUTE on a package in another schema.
    3. navigate to the package in the tree view.
    4 run/run button is disabled.

    5. but this scenario works as expected in v3.2

    This close is enough?

    Kind regards

  • How can I remove the gray bar with the previous websites visited, which is under the address bar?

    I refreshed just Firefox, and now there is a grey bar under the address bar that lists the last sites I visited recently in a line from left to right. How can I get rid of him? I am running version 35.0.1 and he says that it is up-to-date. Thank you.

    Just right click and click Hide from the menu.

  • When I open Firefox now goes out of the screen as it does with the website in the address bar, I'm going to.

    In order to enter anything in the address bar, I need to move the cursor to the top edge of the screen in Firefox and the site chosen.

    Try to hit F11.

    It is a toggle that maximizes the window beyond 'normal' maximize and gives you the most possible real estate for navigation, with less waste on the edges and buttons.

    It might be the bad form to mention here, but other browsers use the same key for this.

  • I have more the favicon in the address bar (awesome bar)

    Firefox 14.0.1

    All that shows is an a generic graphic(globe?) which is grayed out.

    However, I still have fevicons in my bookmark list.

    Thanks for your help!

    The Site identity button has changed to protect users against hackers attempt to "spoof" legitimate research site buttons. The site icon still appears on the bookmarks and tabs, but not at the left end of the location/URL bar.

    To restore the icons of the site to the location/URL bar, try one of the Add-ons new following:

    There is an add-on to add an extra color to the new button-> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/site-identity-button-colors/ (has previously been reviewed by Firefox, click here to learn more about what it means that)

    4. Double-click on it, to make false

  • How can I return search box in a new tab? When I open a new tab, it is only to show the address bar.

    When I click on + to open a new tab, this tab shows only the address bar, no search box! This problem is created suddenly. Previously, this problem, when I opened a new tab it shows google search box and the address bar. Now, the address bar of the new tab worked for both page looking box and address bar.

    I followed: config process and it's worked. But, when I start my computer after a few more hours I see this problem! What can I do? Please tell me.

    I have attached a picture of your understanding.

    I wouldn't try a reinstall immediately. An ordinary reinstall often not made the changes that it would bring.

    user.js file will be a small file in your profile and contained text. If copy you and rename user . txt or user.js.txt it will be readable by any word processor, even if Notepad can open it is.

    Paste the content in your next reply. He can give us some clues as to what is happening.

    In fact the user.js file will change behavior of Firefox and you want to simply rename temporarily; instead of renaming a copy; in order to disable and see what happens.

    Just another thought the usual options used for newtabs

    • Subject: white - it's a plain blankpage, no bar to search it.
    • Subject: newtab - currently by default has a search bar and the tiles
    • topic: home - a search bar and some settings icons etc

    You can try one of these out by typing in the address bar Subject: House or whatever, (or try on: subject).

    It is has two troubleshooting steps simple which will help, but you don't seem to have tried yet.

    First, try fashion without failure of Firefox.
    For example, in now the SHIFT key when you click the icon to start Firefox

    The second interesting to try procedure is to create a new additional profile for test purposes. Which erases most of the settings and not be affected by file user.js or interfere with your existing settup. You get the choice what profile to use when you start Firefox.
