Where is the security lock icon in Firefox 6.0.2?
I just updated Firefox from version 3 to 6.0.2 and the little security lock that used to be in the lower right hand corner on secure websites is no longer there - how do I tell if a website is secure?? Thanks!

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The functionality of the padlock has been replaced by the How do I tell if my connection to a website is secure?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