Mozilla Company a new security and privacy level indicator that will be displayed at the beginning of the address bar instead of the "(i)" button. The indicator will allow you to judge the activation of code blocking modes for tracking movements. Indicator-related changes will be part of the October 70 release of Firefox 22.
Pages opened via HTTP or FTP will have an insecure connection icon, which will also be displayed for HTTPS in case of certificate problems. The color of the lock symbol for HTTPS will be changed from green to gray (it will be possible to return the green color through the security.secure_connection_icon_color_gray setting). The move away from security indicators in favor of security warnings is due to the ubiquity of HTTPS, which is already taken for granted rather than additional protection.
There is also more in the address bar information about the company when using a verified EV certificate on the site, since such information could mislead the user and be used for phishing (for example, the company βIdentity Verifiedβ was registered, whose name in the address bar was perceived as an indicator of verification). Information about the EV-certificate can be viewed through the drop-down menu when clicking on the lock icon. You can return the display of the company name from the EV certificate in the address bar through "security.identityblock.show_extended_validation" in about:config.
The privacy level indicator can be in three states: The indicator turns gray when the movement tracking blocking mode is enabled in the settings and there are no elements on the page to be blocked. The indicator turns blue when certain elements that violate privacy or are used for movement tracking are blocked on the page. The indicator is crossed out when the user has disabled tracking protection for the current site.
Other interface changes include about:config, which is enabled by default for the release of Firfox 71 scheduled for December 3rd. The new implementation of about:config is a service web page that opens inside the browser,
written in HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Page elements can be arbitrarily selected with the mouse (including several lines at once) and placed on the clipboard without using the context menu. After opening about:config, by default, the elements are not shown and only the search bar is visible, and to view the entire list, you need to click the button
Show all.
Now you can sort the output by type, name and state. The top search bar has been preserved and expanded with the ability to add new variables. Additionally, support for searching through a regular mechanism is implemented, which is also used for searching on ordinary pages with a step-by-step search for matches.
For each setting, a button has been added that allows you to invert variables with boolean values ββ(true/false) or edit string and numeric variables. For user-modified values, a button also appears to reset the changes to the default value.
In conclusion, one can mention utility developed by Mozilla , designed to run, build, test, and sign WebExtensions add-ons from the command line. The new version implements the ability to run add-ons not only in Firefox, but also in Chrome and any browsers based on the Chromium engine, which simplifies the development of cross-browser add-ons.
