Since I upgraded Firefox the gold security lock symbol that shows up for internet banking, etc. has disappeared. How do I get it back. I'm nervous not seeing it there.
the bank site does have "https//:" on it, but no security lock shows in the lower right hand corner. It always was there before.

The Padlock is no longer part of Firefox; it was removed beginning in Firefox 4. The padlock shows that there is a secure connection but does not supply additional information. You could have made a typographical error and still have been connected to a secure connection. The padlock was replaced in Firefox 3 with the Site Identity Button. Familiarize yourself with the Site Identity Button at the left end of the Location Bar:
