Why is the vertical line between padlock icon and website's URL red instead of gray?

Usually the vertical line which separates the padlock icon and a website's URL in the address bar is grey. However, this morning at about 11:09 am I was having a lot of issues on YouTube (I would submit searches or click videos on the YouTube but the webpage remained the same), and I noticed that the referenced vertical line was red instead of the usual grey. Why was this?

Can you attach a screenshot?

  • Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot
  • Make sure that you do not exceed the maximum size of 1 MB

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox menu button/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox menu button/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
