A question on the padlock for secure web site

Hi -

With this recent update to Version 16, I no longer see the gold padlock on the far right side of the URL address bar.

How would I go about getting this padlock to appear again (for secure sites)?

Thank you, Randy

hello, the site security indicators should now be on the left site of the location bar, next to the web address. https://blog.mozilla.org/ux/2012/06/site-identity-ui-updates/

in case they are not showing up, please try launching firefox in safe mode once and see if the issue is occurring there too - maybe a custom theme or addon is interfering.
