How do I tell I am on a secure site --- I don't see the "lock" feature anymore.

I go to my credit union --- but I don't see anything on the FireFox page telling me the website is secure after I enter the website.

The padlock has been replaced by the site identity button, for details on using it see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Site+Identity+Button

Thanks for the info. I was concerned after the upgrade. I do, however prefer seeing the lock at the bottom.

This extension will add a "lock" icon to the Site Identity Button, where the Opera and IE browsers have moved the lock to. I wish Mozilla had done that too with Firefox 4.0, instead of removing it altogether.
