Why is there no gold lock when I log onto websites that have my personal info? Like SSN, banking info, bill pay sites, etc. I'm afraid that Mozilla is not protecting my private information. Where is the Verisign symbol???
There is no lock in the address bar, or bottom of the screen, or anywhere on the page. I logged on to the NC Dept of revenue to check my refund status, and there was on Verisign symbol.

In Firefox 4 and later you no longer have the Status bar that showed the padlock in previous Firefox versions.
The padlock only shows that there is a secure connection and doesn't guarantee that you are connected to the right server.
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.
The functionality of the padlock has been replaced by the How do I tell if my connection to a website is secure? on the left end of the location bar.

You can use this extension to get a padlock on the location bar.
