What happened to the green-colored background that would indicate a website's trustworthiness?

There would be a checkmark or something (you don't miss something until it's not there and then you don't remember exactly how it looked, anyway) the background color was usually green. The darker the green, the more trustworthy the site (98% to 92% to 88%, etc.) There were also sites with yellow checks and these were dubious and I would never click on them. Now, however, with the latest Firefox "update" those color-coded checks or background colors are non-existent. BTW, so is the toolbar across the top. WASSUP!

I think you may have had webutation, an add on, and it may have been delete somehow. Heres the link to get it, it fit your description pretty well. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/webutation-reputation-security/

Also right click the top of the firefox window and a menu will come up showing several option and click the "Menu Bar" option. This will get you that toolbar.

Have a great day!!
