I finally upgraded to FF10 and then FF11 from FF3.6. I no longer see the familiar padlock icon in the lower right, or anywhere else, on a SSL (https) page. Has this feature been deleted? A search revealed that it was removed in FF4, but I thought I saw in in FF10. I'm not ordering online until I get this straightened out.

Thanks.

The Padlock is no longer part of Firefox; it was removed beginning in Firefox 4. The padlock shows that there is a secure connection but does not supply additional information. You could have made a typographical error and still have been connected to a secure connection. The padlock was replaced in Firefox 3 with the Site Identity Button. Familiarize yourself with the Site Identity Button at the left end of the Location Bar:
