Mozilla Firefox has an important security function that informs you whether your data is being transmitted in encrypted form or not. If the message "This website does not provide any identity data" appears, your connection to the website is not encrypted.

Many websites are unencrypted and insecure.

Firefox has a security feature for websites

  • Firefox from the developer Mozilla is one of the most popular Internet browsers and is constantly being improved. The security of the user is very important to the manufacturer and for this reason the browser also has an important security function. With this you can see at a glance whether a website is transmitting your data in encrypted form or not.
  • Furthermore, you can also see whether the website is harmful and whether your personal data is being misused. Four different symbols can appear in the address bar of the browser. A gray globe or an orange warning triangle means that the website does not provide any identity data. You have to be careful with these two symbols.
  • If a gray lock appears in Firefox, the connection is encrypted and you can visit the website without risk. With a green padlock, the connection is not only encrypted, but also verified with an extended validation certificate, making it extremely secure. If a website does not provide identity data, you should only visit the site under certain circumstances.

When a website does not provide identity data

  • If a gray globe appears in the address line of your Firefox, the website is not providing you with any identity data. You will see this message when you move the mouse over the globe. The connection to this website is either only partially or not at all encrypted.
  • If you do not exchange sensitive data (e.g. bank details), you can still visit the website. So you don't need to be bothered by the warning and can continue surfing in peace.

    Mozilla Firefox is still one of the most popular browsers. However, disregard ...

  • If you visit a website and there is an orange warning triangle in the Firefox address line, you will not be provided with any identity data either. This warning is a lot more serious than the gray globe, and there are usually risks involved.
  • If you visit the website anyway, your data could end up in the hands of other people. If you want to avoid this, you should refrain from visiting. However, if this is necessary, at least under no circumstances do you provide personal data or sensitive information.
