132829 - Encryption/Security and Tabbing

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 101723

(Core :: Security, defect)

Description

[Peter Weilbacher]

Today I noticed some problems when surfing secure sites with the tabbed browser
interface. As long as I have only one tab, everything seems ok. The lock sign at
the lower right turns closed/yellow when I surf to the above https site. Then I
open a new tab (Ctrl-T), load an unencrypted site (e.g.
http://www.uni-sw.gwdg.de), and the lock stays locked/yellow. Loading the same
page in the first tab, the lock opens, and stays open when I load the encrypted
page in the second tab. In this case the security info only reacts on the first
tab. I can also open Page/Frame Info for a page in the second tab. All tabs
there react to the current tab, only the security tab shows info on the first
tab! *Very* irritating!!

I also had a case where I have seen the info for the current tab in the security
info page, and it still said, that that site does not support encryption. But at
the moment I cannot reproduce it.

Ah, now I can reproduce it. I just close the first tab, and load an encrypted
page in the former second and now first tab. The security page info now quotes
meine.db24.de saying that it does not support encryption, while the server
*does* suppoert encryption.

This just got fixed a day or two ago.

Sorry, did only search for encryption and not for lock-icon...
I can confirm it as working OK with 2002032208.
