From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020311 BuildID: 2002031104 if a secure site is open in the browser and then a new tab is added, the lock icon is yellow and locked in the new browser tab, even if no encryption is present on the pages loaded in the new tab. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open browser 2.Load secure website https:// 3.Ctrl +T or file menu to open new browser tab 4. load nonsecure site in new tab. Actual Results: note yellow locked icon on status bar is still present Expected Results: Mozilla should assign tab specific control to the lock icon so switching between tabs changes the state of the icon. This is a majorly deceptive security risk.
