suddenly im getting this grey/white exclamation triangle in my gmail

also noted that for some reason the padlock in the browser bar doesnt turn full green as usual on google, but is grey (like the padlock gets fully green when opening a site like mozilla in the same session, but for some reason google doesnt, dono if its related and opening browser console doesnt reveal anything unsecure when typing in mix)

this triangle (its not a triangle at the browser bar itself, instead it appears in the smack middle of the page, even when scrolling up or down)

also how come there isnt the same tools available when posting the question?, like the add image, would have saved the double posting

I've never seem this triangle mentioned before.

You would have to check the page source or possibly right-click that triangle and use Inspect Element to see what code is behind it and what its origin is.

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

  • Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.

You can check the connection settings.

If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then try to select "No Proxy" if "Use the system proxy settings" or one of the others do not work properly.

See "Firefox connection settings":
