Excellent, security reminder at a glance, like in good old times. Adopted.

Excellent script Gina, much needed for those of us who use Fx themes that hide any secure site colors in the address bar. I know there is the padlock but in some themes this is hardly noticeable either, so job well done Gina and to Ace_NoOne

Since I have a completely dark theme all over my computer and now in my browser, this definitely helps me to quickly notice when I'm at a secure site. Many thanks for this style!
