How come the little lock in the lower right corner, is not present at my bank sites anymore, after going from V3.19 to V4.01?

The site when over the url in the upper right, shows verification by equifax or entrust, etc, etc, but no lower right corner lock. Has this been done away with in new Vs 4.01? I still have Vs 3.19 or 3.019?, installed on my laptop, and the lock is shown when at a bank site. You know this is why people are wary of updating, when something is working ok, why change it? Also when I right click to open from bookmarks to a new tab, the "open in new tab", is not hi-lited? Another MINOR annoyance?
