Before I downloaded latest Firefox version it appeared along with icons in lower right of screen. With Internet Explorer8 it appears on right hand side of address bar.

The padlock has been replaced by the site identity button, for details on using it see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Site+Identity+Button

If you want to add a padlock icon to the location bar, you can use the Padlock add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/padlock-icon/
