I no longer see the padlock sign when on https sites. Why? And is the web page secure?

When making payments etc on https sites I used to get a padlock symbol on the address line or bottom right hand corner tool bar. This was a symbol I had been told to check for to ensure the page is secure. I no longer see the padlock symbol on https sites since I upgraded to Firefox 4? On the tool bar at the top all I get is the golden star for book marking a page and nothing on the bottom tool bar.Why? And is the page still secure?

The padlock has been replaced by the site identity button, for details on using it see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Site+Identity+Button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