BuildID:    2002040103 and 2002032830(?)

When entering the login page of a secure site with the initial browser window
the lock remains open & uncolored. the site however works fine. Usins a new tab
or an additional nevigator window (control N) all is fine

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Reboot
2.Open Mozilla
3.Go to any secure site

Actual Results:  1. Lock remains open and clear and page info secure tab does
not record the secure data
2. The site works fine

Expected Results:  1. Lock closes & colors, page info notes the secure data
2. Site works fine

In a new tab or a new browser window all seems to behave ok

None of this occur in  Netscape 2.2 or in in M0.9.9 I first noticed it in
M2002032803.

If the lock in the main browser window remains open, then this is a general
browser bug, not a page info issue.  Probably a result of the patch to make
tabbed browsing work with security status changes...

For what it's worth, I cannot reproduce with linux 2002-04-01-08.

I believe this is the same bug that I've experienced.  The circumstances are as
follows:
    -  Start Mozilla
    -  In first tab, go to non-secure site.  Indicator is correct
    -  Open second tab
    -  In second tab, go to secure site.  Indicator is not correct.  Lock
remains unchanged.

I have also reversed the process and it still doesn't work right.

    -  Start Mozilla
    -  In first tab, go to secure site.  Indicator 'locks' as expected.
    -  Open second tab.
    -  Go to non-secure site.   Indicator stays 'locked' when it should be open.

It appears to me that the icon only records the state of the first tab as
opposed to being an accurate portrayal of the tab in which you are working. 
Although the security icon isn't correct for the other tabs, the browser does
seem to continue to work correctly even for secure sites.

I am running 0.98 on AIX.

Michael, yours is probably a different one that was fixed right after 0.9.9 came
out. Grab a nightly and you'll see it's fixed. As for the bug reported here,
reporter, do you see it for all secure sites or just one in particular? I can't
reproduce this.

I see it for all the sites that I go to a couple of banks, credit card sites and
investment sites. Also I just downloaded M2002040314 which behaves the same way.
Interestingly the behavior was proper the first time I opened it. After closing
and reopening it it behaved as I reported.

I just again checked a bunch of secure sites. In the first window the browser
does no recognize the secure site. In a second window or tab it does.

The problem might be associated with opening mail first see thread starting with: 

news://news.mozilla.org:119/[e-mail]

In any case I had been opening M with the navigator and mail. By not opening
mail with the navigator all works just fine.

see news://news.mozilla.org:119/[e-mail] Phil has also
uncovered the bug and associates it with mail. He also thinks it crept in
between the 14th and 23 of March.

The secure page works but the security lock is misbehaving for me on this build
on a Win 95 machine - opened a mail window before the browser window, and the
first instance of the secure transaction the lock didn't lock itself, the second
login to the secure site it did ...

Can you try a more recent version and see if that's still the case? I've
probably fixed this a few days ago.

I still think there is some sort of a problem althoiugh the behavior is different.
For M2002041711 RC1) the behavior is as reported earlier.
I just tried M05-01 and a recent previous build (?), here it recognizes the site
is secure but the site does not complete the download. At least for my bank (The
Xerox Federal Credit Union.)I think on the second try it works. "ll look some
more in a day os so.
Thanks for the effort.
