Mozilla changed the lock icon that Firefox 70 displays on web pages that use HTTPS. From Firefox 70 the icon in the URL bar will appear in gray instead of our known green.
This is an experiment and change is enabled by default in the Nightly version.
But if you want to see Green lock again in your browser's address bar, you can follow the instructions below.
The Nightly version also changes the way your Firefox browser displays Extended Validation Certificate (or simply EV Certificate) information. Starting with the 70 version, it will display the EV information in a pop-up tab, not the URL bar.
It should be mentioned that Google also plans to no longer display the EV indicator in Chrome 77's address bar by default. The indicator will appear in the UI of the information (about) page. Chrome has remove already the green lock icon, and now displays a gray icon by default on sites that use HTTPS.
To see the green lock on HTTPS web pages again in the Firefox address bar:
Open the inside address about:config in Firefox 70 and search for gray. Sta Results search, do click on “Toggle” to change the setting.
Restart your browser and you'll see the green icon.
