I always look for that padlock on the lower right hand corner of the screen when i go on my bank account site or enter any confidential user info such as account numbers/passwords. This version of Firefox doesn't seem to have it, so how do I know I'm on a secure site? This has me a little nervous. i'd like to switch back to version 3.x if I cannot get that with this version. thanks.

The padlock has been replaced by the site identity button, for details on using it see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Site+Identity+Button
