Firefox is my browser. I love it. It's fantastic. However, I have a
problem with the security lock icon.  On many secured pages, not all
of them, there is a bar across the lock icon.  I have some extensions
but I uninstalled all of them for a test and it didn't change anything
at all.

Can somebody help me?

Howdy jseb-ga,

Do you happen to have some example sites that we could check?  Thanks!

Gmail is one example (https://www.gmail.com).

Fedex is another one (open an account at
https://www.fedex.com/signup/oar?enrollmentid=f030989904&language=en&country=CA)

Amazon's registration page is another one
(https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/flex-sign-in-done/104-7284312-9666315)

Now _I'm_ confused, and will be watching for the Answer!

I tried all three links, here are my results:

Gmail: No lock at all.
FedEx: Locked correctly.
Amazon: Lock with a line through it.

Howdy Cynthia,

It appears it might have to do with some parts of the target page, such as
a graphic, being fetched from a non-secure source, such as another server
wherein the connect between the two servers is a non-secure connection.

I think the icon is there to tell the user that even though the connection
is secure, some aspects of the content were not obtained securely.
