Hi, Corrine and Landzdown Forum!  :mitch:

I have started using Pale Moon these days (well, I want to try different things and need some changes in my computer life!!! ). I set google.com as my home page, but every time I open a new tab and then click the home page button, the address bar gets a red color, and indicates that the website does not supply identity information. When I click again on the home button, everything is ok. Why does this happen?

Hi, Panos.

What you are seeing is the "Site Identity Button" which then changes to the Google Favicon.  See How do I tell if my connection to a website is secure?.  If  you click on the "lock" icon, you'll get additional information about the site.

Hi, Corrine.

So, I leave it as it is? And could this appear in other sites?

By the way, what I get is a red warning circle.

Hmmm, no, Panos, a red warning circle isn't right. 

Are you using http://google.com or https://google.com?  When I typed the http address in the address bar, it temporarily showed an orange-ish lock and then changed to https showing the google favicon. 

Can you click the circle to view the information on the site identity?  If not, can you provide a screen copy of what it shows?

Good morning, Corrine.

I attach some screen shots below:

Some more information:

I set my homepage to http:// etc. Not to https://. I don't know why this changes every time I create a new tab and click home page.

Hi, Panos.

That explains it!  About 2.5 years ago, Google changed search to encrypted search (using https) so you are automatically being redirected.  The red circle has an exclamation point in the middle as a "warning" because parts of the page are not encrypted until redirected to https.  See what happens if you change the setting for your home page to https://google.com.

Hi, Corrine.

I have changed my home page to https://google.com.cy but I get the same warning. When I first join Pale moon, the home page is ok. When I create a new tab and then click the home page button, the red color with the warning appears. If I click another time on the home button, all are ok. If it is not a security issue, then ok.

ok, something else before Monday and hard work starts again (I hope to, we will see... ).

Remember the problem I had with pale moon from May (red address bar -> see above)? I continued getting that red color, in a lot of sites, till now. I uninstalled and reinstalled and it is ok!

I'm glad that problem is behind you, especially since studies begin again on Monday.  I have every confidence that you will do great work!
