The padlock only shows that there is a secure connection and doesn't guarantee that you are connected to the right server. So you might still be connected to the wrong server if you make a typo in the URL and someone has claimed that mistyped URL. The functionality of the padlock has been replaced by the Site Identity Button on the left end of the location (address) bar. The padlock-icon extension mentioned above will help remind you if you still look for the padlock icon.
This has actually existed since Firefox 3.0 so it is not new.

Padlock is no longer part of Firefox. Familiarize yourself with the Site Identity Button at the left end of the Location Bar:

You can install this add-on if you wish: *https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/padlock-icon/
