I looked at this again just now. I am now getting the StarPage engine search using StartPage HTTPS engine in the search bar without a bunch of popup windows about the GoDaddy cert. BUT StartPage does not give you 100 results per page (rather 10 only) so I click on the second page of results and I get a series of popup screens. I have to RETELL SM to make a permanent exception for StartPage cert. I have already checked the box to make the exception permanent but SM has forgotten that when I click on the second page of results. After I tell it again to accept the GoDaddy cert permanently (the box is already checked), then I get a popup that says the information has to be RESENT. So, I tell SM to do that and then finally I get the second page of search results. If I want to look at the next 10 results, on the third page, I have to go through all the popups that I got on the second page AGAIN. That is ridiculous and a bug! Sigh. I just tried again using StartPage HTTPS engine through the search bar, for another subject for searching, and I got that HORRIBLY MISLEADING Startpage search results. There was a popup up from SM stating that Secure connection FAILED due to the Godaddy cert being UNtrusted. I was not able to do anything other than look at the cert or cancel. Yet, I still see https in the address bar for the StartPage search results and in the Status bar the almost impossible to see dark gray lock appears locked. The surrounding area is a lighter gray tannish color and if I click on the lock it says the site is secure but that information is in DIRECT CONFLICT with what the popup said which was that the SECURE CONNECTION FAILED! This is a nasty bug giving conflicting information.

I was wrong in that I have not seen this extension before. It is interesting but not what I need. I need Padlock extension that I use on Fx. I can't clearly see the dark gray padlock that SM uses. I can't see if it is open or closed without using a magnifying glass...horrible color for what should be a GOLD padlock that is easily seen. Plus, it should be in the address bar...NOT on the status bar where even if a gold color it is harder to see. So, I use Padlock extension for Fx but it won't install on SM. BTW, I have expensive lens implants and have excellent vision. That dark gray padlock is simply a horrible color. It should still be gold or green or bright neon blue ....some color that is easy to see if it is open or closed as it is a small icon. Further, why in Fx, does the address bar color change for HTTPS but does not in SM unless the site has EXTENDED validation? SM does not even have an icon left of the address to click on to see the security status. You have to find that almost impossible to see dark gray lock on the status bar and click on that. It is almost impossible to tell if the dark gray lock is locked or unlocked just by looking at it. VERY VERY BAD IMPLEMENTATION OF SECURE PAGES. On StartPage HTTPS, that lock has a very small background that is colored grayish tan. What is that supposed to convey? The address bar is blue but it is blue on non secure pages also. I found this on a search: "The latest versions of both Seamonkey and Firefox displays both a closed padlock icon in the status bar and coloured background in the URL field when the page is properly encrypted and secure. They also display a red broken padlock in the status bar but no coloured background in the URL field when the encrypted page is not secure." http://philipramsey.blogspot.com/2011/02/httpswwwcchcamyaccountloginaspx-not.html The padlock should change to red when I get the popup from SM saying the secure connection faild? It doesn't turn red. I don't get a colored background in the address bar either when the page is properly encrypted and secure except for pages that use extended validation and then the address bar turns yellow. Otherwise, properly encrypted and secured pages or not the address bar is always a blue color that fades to white toward the end of the address bar and actually, it should be transparent, but isn't on SM and is on Fx. Further there is NO INFORMATION ANYWHERE, that I can find, on SM that informs me that I have made a permanent exception for GoDaddy cert at StartPage. Fx informs me of this through a tooltip that appears when I point my mouse at the icon on the left of the address. > > [.. snip remainder ..] > > Lee _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
