The Firefox shortcut on my desktop is displaying a padlock. It did not have this earlier today and I have no idea where it came from or what it means. When opening Firefox with this shortcut the page is then outlined in red. Does anybody know what has caused this and how to get rid of it?

This happened

Just once or twice

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

Maybe your security software (anti-virus, firewall) is blocking Firefox. Did you look in the settings there?
