My hotmail shows a grey lock and an amber warning symbol. I'm sure it didnt use to show this and was always green in the past. Am I safe on my email and what should I do if I'm not ?

Ive already read that but how do I get to a situation where my Hotmail has a green triangle rather than the grey one with amber exclamation mark ?

Decided quickest way of dealing with this was to uninstall Firefox and use another browser! Problem solved ! Back to Explorer for now - not the best but got me working again today which was the main thing rather than wasted time trying to solve it.
