What happened to the security symbol, an icon showing a lock, that indicated that you are on a secure connection to a website?

It was present on the last version of Firefox but is not seen on the latest, version 4.0.

How does one now know that he is using an encrypted transmission?

The padlock has been replaced by the site identity button, for details on using it see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Site+Identity+Button
