Why does the lock icon for secure websites does not display?
If I use internet exporer as my browser and I logon to a https site a padlock icon displays to indicate that it is a secure website. If I use firefox as my browser the padlock icon does not display Sorry I do not think this problem is related to bookmarks

The Padlock is no longer part of Firefox; it was removed beginning in Firefox 4. The padlock shows that there is a secure connection but does not supply additional information. You could have made a typographical error and still have been connected to a secure connection. The padlock was replaced in Firefox 3 with the Site Identity Button. Familiarize yourself with the Site Identity Button at the left end of the Location Bar:
