How can you tell that you are communicating with a secure site that uses SSL (secured socket layer)?

The old version of Firefox used to show a little padlock down on the right side of the task bar to indicate the site was secure. Now, I don't see it with the "new" version. I was skeptical about downloading the new version and now I'm sorry that I did. Looks like Firefox support is getting bombarded with all kinds of issues their users are having. Does this mean that the 4.0 version does not recognize a SSL setting and therefore it is not activated in the Firefox browser? If that is the case, that is a huge problem.
