We are building websites for customers. For several customers we build a webshop with iDeal support. iDeal is a payment implementation which is supported by the main banks in The Netherlands. These banks provide a secure connection.

But since FF 4, the lock sign is replaced with a bar at the beginning of the url. So many of our customers complained that their customers don't have the impression that the connection is secure..... So our customers have less completed orders...

So can you please bring back the yellow lock sign?

The padlock has been replaced by the site identity button which provides more information than the padlock. For details on using it see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Site+Identity+Button

Those that want a padlock icon can install the Padlock add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/padlock-icon/
