Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox
I am using Mozilla Firefox 3.0 beta 4.
On a blank page, example about:blank
When you press the button to the left of the address field it will say "You are connected to an unverified site", even though you are not really connected to anything.

Goto about:blank, click the favicon. You get the new security box saying:
"This web site does not support identity information. Your connection to this web site is not encrypted." Clicking "More Information" gives you a sparse page info window with a blank web site field.
This doesn't need to be here and looks a bit odd. I don't see any reason we can't just disable page info and the identity pane for about:blank. This misstatement also happens with other local files (ex chrome: //global/ skin/global. css) but dealing with that to look not out of place may be more complicated. Just getting rid of this when you're at "nowhere" seems to makes sense.
Reproducible: Always
