    After registering my fingerprint/password for a few websites such as gmail.com, whenever I go those sites, the sides of my firefox web browser flashes red two or three times...

    Is this just how the fingerprint reader program works?

    thanks

    Obviously he wasn't expecting the border to flash red.

    Hmm! They should have used another color. That would have reduced the confusion!

    Didn't confuse me at all when I first saw it. Not sure why it causes so many problems. I've seen other threads about this too.

    The color red is a sign of danger or something stopping or not working! Green would have been a better option!
