    the address bar is usually green when on Gmail (https) but recently its been red.

    the lock icon is open and when i over my cursor over it, it shows this message:
    I have Firefox 2.0.0.1. what could be wrong?

    Did you try going to Gmail in the Firefox safe mode and see how it reacts?

    going to gmail in firefox safe mode, the lock icon was closed (normal).

    i then returned to my normal firefox and went to gmail and the address bar was green again o_O

    I would check my extensions for starters. The only color I've ever seen on a secure site is yellow with the lock. Also, if using Proxomitron, try passing it on that site and see if it makes a difference.

    Hello,
    Yellow for me ... actually more trout-colored, but never mind.
