There are different certificates out there - the EV certificates involve more checking/documentation/authentication - when FF sees an EV certificate, the bit to the left of the URL ("Verified by") goes green (e.g. https://www.joker.com), otherwise it's blue (e.g. https://www.linkedin.com/).
I recogn I don't have a clear understanding of the meaning of those icons. But I think the colour does not depend on the certificate authority. Clicking on the icon misses a link to a page explaining it. But according to what the mozilla people say, there are no degrees of certification because PKI doesn't allow it.
And I'm reminded by comments on the media about "secure e-commerce", on which they tell people that when they see the "lock" icon, a web page is secure, and their money is secure, when it is not. That "lock" icon doesn't really guarantee any of that. It simply means that a certificate authority thinks that they are who they say they are.
Plus that the connection is (mostly) secure.
Ah, yes, of course. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
