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.
