when using a site that asks for personal information such as credit card numbers before switching to mozilla, a padlock was located either in the toolbar or on the task bar that let me know the site was "secured" and safe to divulge personal info (inasmuch as it's ever safe!). I don't see anything like that since switching to firefox. So how do I know my info is secured now when using firefox?

The padlock has been replaced by the site identity button, for details on using it see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Site+Identity+Button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