Is it still safe to click that Icon?

Many public Wifi services work differently from what you know from home: Instead of securing the link layer with a pass phrase the networks are unencrypted but they redirect all http access to their login page where you enter the credentials. Only after the client is known to the network, web pages are displayed as usual. It looks like you had opened the link in question before this authentication step and now the cloud icon has replaced the original icon of your HP bookmark. Just go to the site again from the same bookmark and you should be done.
