Why don't I have a paddlock anymore when I go to my Net Bank? I cna't check that it is secure if there is no paddlock?
Before I upgraded my Firefox when I went to log on to my Net bank I could see a little padlock in the corner of the log in screen and this helped me to know that I was secure in accessing my banking details. Why don't I see the little padlock anymore? How will I know if it's secure or not?

The Statusbar is gone and the "lock" with it. Security information about a web page is shown by the Site Identity Button.
The old padlock could give users a false sense that a site is secure by not supplying all of the information about a site and only showed that there is a secure connection that didn't guarantee that you are connected to the right server. The Site Identity Button was introduced in Firefox 3.0 to show more complete "identity" information for HTTPS web pages.

You can add a padlock to the location bar with the Padlock add-on- https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/padlock-icon
