Start Firefox in Use Troubleshoot Mode in Firefox to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

disabling extensions makes no difference

Do you see anything related to that icon if you right click the Firefox icon and choose Show in Finder?

Sorry, I see nothing relating to the padlock.
