This just started today. On Firefox, the encrypted pictures and www are grayed out. When I click on the symbol, it says connection is not encripted. Hacked?
The encryption pictures and www are working on IE.

You no longer see the website's favicon on the location bar, but you now see an icon that indicates what kind of connection you have.
With a normal unencrypted http connection you see:
- This website does not supply identity information.
- Your connection to this website is not encrypted.
Only an encrypted HTTPS connection can provide additional information.
The change was for security reasons to prevent websites from spoofing the favicon as a padlock icon.
