Actually, I'm not being prevented from going to any website. I'm just not seeing either https:// on the URL line or a lock icon on the status bar when I'm at those web portal sites (after logging in to one of their services).

At high-level security websites, e.g. banks, I do see the https:// -- but no lock icon. My status bar is completely empty.

Is the 'lock icon' an option that has to be 'turned on' in a browser 'preferences pane'? If not, what would explain not seeing it at websites where it should appear?

Thanks.
