In Firefox where does the symbol (usually a lock) appear to confirm that you are on a secure website?
In Safari I see a locked symbol in the top right corner of my screen when I am on a secure website, I don't see this in Firefox? Is this feature available in Firefox and if so, how do I turn it on?

The Padlock is no longer part of Firefox; it was removed beginning in Firefox 4. The padlock shows that there is a secure connection but does not supply additional information. You could have made a typographical error and still have been connected to a secure connection. The padlock was replaced in Firefox 3 with the Site Identity Button. Familiarize yourself with the Site Identity Button at the left end of the Location Bar:
