The lock symbol has been replaced with the Site Identity button in Firefox 4.0.x

You can however reinstate it by downloading this add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/padlock-icon/?src=discovery-learnmore

Incidentally, you need to install the latest Adobe updates since the current versions you have installed expose your system to attack.

Here's the relevant Adobe security advisory: http://www.adobe.com/support/security/advisories/apsa11-02.html
