After updating to the latest version, I do not see the security padlock on secure websites. How do I know if a website is secure now?

I recently updated to the new version and now do not see the security padlock for secure websites. How do I know if a website is secure now?

In Firefox 4 and later you no longer have the Status bar that showed the padlock in previous Firefox versions.
The padlock only shows that there is a secure connection and doesn't guarantee that you are connected to the right server.
So you might still be connected to the wrong server if you make a typo in the URL and someone has claimed that mistyped URL.
The functionality of the padlock has been replaced by the How do I tell if my connection to a website is secure? on the left end of the location bar.
