Why isn't the lock displayed at the lower right hand corner of the monitor for a secure site?

After updating Firefox, I tried to order an item from Amazon.com. When I clicked the PROCEED to CHECKOUT button the next page appeared with https displayed in the address box as expected, but the closed lock was not displayed in the lower right hand corner of the page. The same result occurred when I repeated my attempt to place an order. The display in the address box for the page on which I am entering my note also has the https but the lock is missing. I do not know whether or not the page is 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The functionality of the padlock has been replaced by the How do I tell if my connection to a website is secure?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.

You can use this extension to get a padlock on the location bar.
