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The functionality of the padlock has been replaced by the How do I tell if my connection to a website is secure?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.

You can use this extension to get a padlock on the location bar.
The Site Identity Button has existed since Firefox 3.0 release in case you have not noticed all this time.
I agree that the padlock was misleading sometimes and about the only time it was useful was when it had the broken lock icon so as to show there was a non secure item being displayed such as one or more images from a non secure connection.
