Blue - Basic identity information
When the Site Identity button is blue, that indicates that the site's domain has been verified, and the connection between Firefox and the server is encrypted and therefore protected against eavesdroppers.
Green - Complete identity information
When the Site Identity button is green, that indicates that the site provides fully verified identity information about its owner, and that the connection is encrypted. If a site makes the Site Identity Button turn green, it means that it is using a new Extended Validation (EV) certificate. An EV certificate is a special type of site certificate that requires a significantly more rigorous identity verification process than other types of certificates.
