How does the browser "show-the-user" when a web page is SECURE?

Whenever I use Firefox I end up filling out a secure form. ...however... The browser never SHOWS ME that the page IS SECURE. All other browsers I have ever used, IE, Opera, Netscape all show the user when they are viewing a secured web page. I need to see that the connection is secure before sending sensitive info.

anyone?

The area to the left of the address (green, blue, or plain) shows the type of security offered by the site. More info:

Site Identity Button | How to | Firefox Help

For example, this site has a blue identity area (SSL encryption but not identity verification).

There is an add-on you can use if you prefer seeing a lock:

Padlock :: Add-ons for Firefox

I haven't tried it myself.
