Is it safe to transmit secure data on Firefox? In IE you know a site is secure when it displays a lock, but there is no such icon with Firefox. Is Firefox secure or not?

<u>'''When on a secured site'''</u>, there should be a lock symbol on your Status Bar at the bottom of your browser window. Is the Status Bar displayed? Click View in the Menu Bar/Main menu, if no check mark next to Status Bar, click on Status Bar to place and check mark and display the Status Bar. Firefox also has the <u>'''Site Identity Button'''</u> on the left end of the Location/URL button that changes color based on the security level/information for the site.
