When logging in to sites secured with htpps there should appear a little lock in the righthand corner of my screen. This is not happening. How come ? What can I do ?

The padlock has been replaced by the site identity button, for details on using it see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Site+Identity+Button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