I'm missing my toolbar lock in firefox 4.0.1. I'm wondering if there is any way to restore it? Thank you
Actually not much more details to give as it happened quite suddenly. I may have been adding and or deleting addons, but I was just rearranging my tool bars when I wanted to lock them up I could not find the option anymore.

In Firefox 4 you no longer have the Status bar that showed the padlock in previous Firefox versions.
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The functionality of the padlock has been replaced by the How do I tell if my connection to a website is secure? on the left end of the location bar.

You can use this extension to get a padlock on the location bar.
