See How do I tell if my connection to a website is secure?

The problem with the lock symbol was that thieves were able to create a page which included it to give unwary users the impression they were connected to a secure site.

The padlock has been replaced by the site identity button, for details on using it see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Site+Identity+Button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