Bug Description
Binary package hint: firefox-3.0
If I visit a HTTPS site and click the favicon by the URL bar, the pop-up balloon containing information about the SSL certificate appears to always display exactly the last two levels of the domain name only. This results in misleading/useless information in some cases, especially for domains in countries where the TLD is subdivided (co.uk/org.uk etc.). E.g.:
https:/
https:/
https:/
https:/
I would argue that it's dangerous to strip any parts of the domain name in this information, as it's a generalisation which won't necessarily be always valid, even if it's done more intelligently than it currently is.
I'm using firefox-3.0 version 3.0~b3+
I can confirm. Also en-gb locale.
