How can I get my site to diplay a blue or green site identity button? I have an SSL.
A website I administer, hummert.com, shows a grey identity button, even on secure https pages. How can I get the blue or green buttons to display? I have a current SSL from Godaddy. Also, is there still supposed to be a lock icon in lower left corner on secure sites? I don't see it, even on bank of america's page.

No, 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The functionality of the padlock has been replaced by the How do I tell if my connection to a website is secure?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.
