I think that's the SSL certificate there. It's done by Firefox /
Iceweasel, not the website.

A quick search didn't reveal details on how to hide this; maybe
somebody else can do a better job.

about:config
browser.identity.ssl_domain_display
is probably what you are looking for (and it is a security feature)

Ah, I get it now.

You mean the "https" long bar, not the favicons. O.k. I see the same as
you, but the options you toggled off where for hiding "favicons", not the
https bar.

What firefox version are you using?

There is an addon¹ (Stylish) that allows customizing many visual aspects
of the browser, not sure if this tweak is also included.

In 3.x, you can modify the css (userChrome.css) to get the desired color.
