I cannot tell if I am browsing a webpage securely, there is no "lock image" anywhere on the page.

Hey! Not really having problems, the only issue is I cannot tell when or if I am browsing a website securely or not. I just upgraded to 5.0.1 recently and enjoy it very much. On the older version of FF that I had (I'm not sure what version specifically) an image of a lock would appear when I was browsing on a secured area of a website, for example, when I would access my banking or student financial information. I cannot find that image anywhere so I thought it prudent to ask. Thanks very much.

The padlock has been replaced by the site identity button, for details on using it see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Site+Identity+Button

If you want to add a padlock icon to the location bar, you can use the Padlock add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/padlock-icon/
