It was always in the lowerright corner of my screen. Now it's not showing on any of the secure sites I go to. I've looked everywhere. Now I'm worried about going to secure sites if I can't see the padlock.

Thank you :-) I can't get the padlock addon to work, typical. But at least I know how the new system works. (Not that it should've been changed grr)
