Where's the secure HTTP connection symbol? It used to be at the bottom right corner whenever there was a secure website connection
Whenever I made connection with a secure website, the HTTPS secure symbol would show up at the bottom right corner, indicating how strong the https connection was. Sometimes it would be a solid symbol; other times when the website wasn't as secure, it would show up with a line through it. Simple question, but I don't see it anymore and it is helpful to know how strong the security is on certain websites. Thank you.

In Firefox 4 you no longer have the Status bar that showed the padlock in previous Firefox versions.
You can click the "Site Identity Button" on the left end of the location bar to see the padlock.

A click on the "More Information" button will show details about the connection.
The background color of the "Site Identity Button" on the left end of the location bar will change color (blue or green) and show the domain in case of a secure https connection.
