HI all,
Great site. Found alot of useful info on it. I have kinda a dumb question though.
My browser is Firefox 2. Sometimes when i visit a site my address bar is yellow. Like on a login page for example.
Anyone know why this is? Safe site, phishing site?.. I appreciate your help and forgive my ignorance..
I'm just learning as i go.

Thanks!

Re: address bar

it's because they are secure SSL encrypted sites, Firefox mozilla uses yellow for indication of those sites.
