On Firefox 3, the status bar would show a padlock for secure sites. It is not there on Firefox 4. Is it somewhere else? If not, how do I get it back?

With the exclusion of the bottom toolbar in Firefox 4, the security padlock icon no longer shows. To verify if a site is secure, look in the address bar at the top of the page. If the beginning of the website starts with https:// (as opposed to http://) and the website's icon and company name show on a green or blue background (consult the attached image), then the website is secure.
