Firefox 3 used to have a secure padlock in the bottom right corner. Firefox 4 doesn't. Is there a way to know if a site is secure, like my online banking?

The padlock has been replaced by the site identity button, for details on using it see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Site+Identity+Button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