How do I know now whether a page I am visiting is secure? Just by looking at the https header? This doesn't tell me whether there is a problem with the integrity of the connection, like the old golden lock did. I will feel very insecure using Firefox for online shopping and banking from now on. Removing the status bar was extremely stupid. I guess I'll have to give old IE another chance.
