Before I updated to Firefox 4, I used to be able to see the security bar on the bottom right telling me whether it was secure (x-d out in red or not) before I logged into a site, purchased something, etc. I know the bottom tab has been brought to the top but I no longer see that bar/icon which bother me. Is there any way to get that security tab (that little gold lock symbol) to show again for every 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The padlock has been replaced by the site identity button, for details on using it see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Site+Identity+Button

If you want a padlock, you can use the Padlock add-on in conjunction with the site identity button - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/padlock-icon/

thank you so much, TonyE. Both of the links you provided were very useful and I'm glad to have the padlock back. haha  :)
