Previous to update to Firefox 4, when addressing secure sites a padlock was displayed at bottom right of screen. Since update I cannot tell if a site is secure or not as this does not happen! I tried a known secure site to check this.

The padlock has been replaced by the site identity button, for details on using it see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Site+Identity+Button

If you want to add a padlock icon to the location bar, you can use the Padlock add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/padlock-icon/
