just upgraded to 9.0.1 - where is mozilla security button?
Before upgrading to 9.0.1, a small icon appeared on the right side of computer, telling me site was safe. How do I tell site is safe now? Also, who are all of these Thawte, Geo Trust, etc. (companies?) that verify sites? Who to trust?

Make sure your addons are enable?

Thanks for the reply. I appreciate the information. My very basic question is this: Where do I look to see that I am on a secure site? Besides the https I used to have a mozilla icon that appeared on the right side of the screen showing that I was secure on that website. Now that I have upgraded to 9.0.1 I do not have that icon. What do I look for to know I am secure?
In Firefox 4 and later 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The functionality of the padlock has been replaced by the How do I tell if my connection to a website is secure?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.
