The background color of the identity box needs to be significantly different between the two secure HTTPS states, broken HTTPS and HTTP. Also, the background colors of the two secure HTTPS identity boxes needs to be different from the background color of the rest of the URL bar for broken HTTPS and HTTP URLS. | The background color of the identity box needs to be significantly different between the two secure HTTPS states, broken HTTPS and HTTP.

As of FF14 the identity box has significantly changed. The biggest change is that a website's favicon is no longer displayed in the identity box, rather they are only displayed on the tab. Although the basic colors used for HTTPS extended validation has remained the same, the way the colors are used has changed, Now instead of white text on a dark background, light backgrounds with dark text and borders are used. Another change is that the domain name text has been removed from the basic validation identity box. | |||
Provided the appropriate identity box icon is used (e.g. a padlock for secured sites) themes may continue to use the "old style" dark backgrounds with light text in the identity box or switch to light colored backgrounds with dark text and borders. The important thing is that the identity box state for extended validation must be distinct from the other states and stand out from rest of the theme. Also if dark backgrounds are used, the identity box icons need to be light in color so as to stand out against the dark background. As before it is strongly encouraged, but not required to use green colors for extended validation HTTPS sites. As of Firefox v14.0 basic validation identity box is no longer required to be styled differently from the standard HTTP identity box other than the fact that it must utilize a padlock icon. It is permissible to continue styling the basic validation identity box with different colors from the other identity boxes if desired. | |||
