- Mouse over the padlock should display basic information found in the
subject line.
Mousing over the padlock currently shows a tooltip that says "Authenticated by
XXXX" where XXXX is the O field of the certificate issuer. I agree that we
could show better stuff here. The question is what to show.
- Click on the padlock should open the "Certificate Viewer".
In Seamonkey, clicking on the padlock opens the "security" tab in page info. In
Firefox, double-clicking on the padlock does the same.
Today the situation is, that in order to get a clue about important
details of the issued certificate one has to:
Right Click on the page -> View Page Info -> Select Security Tab ->
Click View....
Actually, in Firefox, "Double-click on the lock, click View". But yes, clearly
not so discoverable (e.g. you didn't find it).
most casual users can't / don't know how to get there and
what to expect!
They wouldn't know to click on the lock icon either, frankly...
