Thought this might be of interest. I did all that the article suggests and it all seems to work ok.

At the very least this tip is worth doing.

"You can improve this slightly by calling up the JavaScript pseudo URL about:config. Firefox will then display a warning that "This might void your warranty!". Click "I'll be careful, I promise!", input identity into the Filter box to get to browser.identity.ssl_domain_display, and then change its value from 0 to 1.

That will make Firefox bring the address line for https sites into line with that for EV SSL sites, except that it's blue instead of green. This minimises the risk of confusion with unsecured sites."
