From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:0.9.9+) Gecko/20020423 BuildID: 20020423 When I go to the URL https://webmail.t-online.de/ Mozilla warns me that I am viewing a page with encrypted and unencrypted content and the lock symbol is red. After copying the URL https://bannerssl.t-online.de/werbung/service/webmaillogin200-300.html into the navigation toolbar, Mozilla loads the page and the yellow lock symbol indicates that no unencrypted content was loaded. When I click the back-button to return to https://webmail.t-online.de/ the lock symbol stays yellow! Even if I reload the page (in a new Mozilla window) the lock symbol is yellow. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Go to https://webmail.t-online.de/ 2. Paste this URL into the navigation toolbar: https://bannerssl.t-online.de/werbung/service/webmaillogin200-300.html 3. Use the back button to go back to the previous page. Actual Results: Mozilla no longer warns me that parts of the page at https://webmail.t-online.de/ (maybe the file favicon.ico ?) were not transmitted securely. Expected Results: The lock symbol should be red.

John, this should probably be duped. Kai's work on the lock icon fixed that. build 2002041711 works on win2k.

I can reproduce this bug with a trunk based build on Linux. I can not reproduce this bug on a 1.0.0 branch based build. Therefore this bugs looks like a new regression on the trunk.
Some first trace results: On our initial attempt to extract the security state, by obtaining security info from the channel and QIing it to nsITransportSecurityInfo, we fail. The current implementation assumes, if we are using security, this will succeed, and will not try again later - causing the insecure lock icon to appear.
This bug seems to only occur with pages having an <iframe>. I uploaded a simpler test case showing the problem at https://www.kuix.de/misc/test14/ But note, I do not agree with the initially changed expected behaviour. It is a bug that the red icon is shown, because all content gets transfered securly. Actual behaviour: Mixed security icon is shown and mixed security warning is shown. Expected behaviour: The "good" lock icon should be shown all the time.

Removing nsbeta1+/adt2, as this is not seen on the branch.

This appears to be working now with this build: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0rc2) Gecko/20020510
John, I believe what you tested is a branch build (1.0.0 rc2). The problem is seen on the trunk only, I still see it.
I can no longer reproduce using a current trunk build.
