The "secure" (padlock) icon no longer displays on the status bar (nor anywhere else that I can find) when you go to a secure web page. How can I get the "secure site" icon (padlock) to display when accessing a secure web page with Firefox 4?

The padlock has been replaced by the site identity button, for details on using it see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Site+Identity+Button
