Just installed a GeoTrust EV SSL and noticed no green address bar or company name displayed. GeoTrust support says "Unfortunately, Chrome and FireFox has discontinued the EV green bar display with their latest version of browsers. The organization name is only visible by clicking the padlock." Pretty sure the Comodo EV SSL that we had before the GeoTrust EV SSL did show a green bar, but can't remember for sure.

hi, since firefox 70 the EV indicator is no longer shown directly in the address bar: https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2019/10/15/improved-security-and-privacy-indicators-in-firefox-70/

The whole point of getting an EV SSL was for the green bar, waterfox still has it. Please bring back the green bar. If firefox just follows everthing chrome is doing then what's the point? Everyone is moving to chrome anyhow, but for me I'd rather stay on firefox but removing the green bar for EV SSL really bums me out...

There is still a pref on the about:config page to revert to the previously used presentation.

@cor-el Thanks for this, I've toggled that option. Just wish it was still the default, was so cool to have the green bar lol.
