after installing Firefox version 4, i can't seem to find from the menu settings where to show the status bar.

This is where the padlock(security) symbol used to be shown to know whether site is secure, esp for online shopping & banking

The Statusbar is gone and the "lock" with it. Security information about a web page is shown by the Site Identity Button.

You can add a padlock to the location bar with the Padlock add-on- https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/padlock-icon
