Firefox 5.0 will be available June 21st (look for it on the 22nd). There may be a release candidate before that that you might pick up at http://www.mozilla.com perhaps one week before that date, but I'm not sure. The way to test with Firefox 5.0 would be to get the Beta test version.

In Firefox 4 you no longer have the Status bar that showed the padlock in previous Firefox versions.<br /> The padlock only shows that there is a secure connection and doesn't guarantee that you are connected to the right server.<br /> So you might still be connected to the wrong server if you make a typo in the URL and someone has claimed that mistyped URL.<br /> The functionality of the padlock has been replaced by the [[Site Identity Button]] on the left end of the location bar.
