How do I know if a website is secure for credit card transactions? I don't see any lock symbol.
I have Windows 7. My older version of windows always showed a padlock symbol when a website was secure and encrypted. I don't see that now. How do I know it is safe to give out personal information like credit card numbers, on a web page?

Padlock is no longer part of Firefox; it was removed beginning in Firefox 4. The padlock shows that there is a secure connection but does not supply additional information. You could have made a typographical error and still have been connected to a secure connection. The padlock was replaced in Firefox 3 with the Site Identity Button. Familiarize yourself with the Site Identity Button at the left end of the Location Bar:
