Hi, I have an EV SSL on a website, with chrome it shows a green bar, as I was expecting, but on firefox it only shows the green lock. On qualys SSL test I score an A.

I can't figure out what is wrong. Should I not be expecting a green bar? Is there a common fix to this or where should I start troubleshooting?


Centos 6.9 server w/ apache, Comodo EV.

Showing a green padlock is how Firefox works. You can click the padlock and check the security tab in "Tools -> Page Info -> Security".

You can also check the Security tab in the Network Monitor for more details.

a green padlock show that it's an SSL. A green bar should show that it's an EV SSL. See example. The EV SSL requires extensive background checks to show that I'm who I am and that the business is registered.

I see a label and that indicates that there is an EV certificate (confirmed identity: Namecheap, Inc (US)). A normal SSL connection like this forum only shows the padlock and not the label.
