I cant shop online anymore because the padlock symbol that indicates the site is secure is no longer there - why no more padlock - where can I see that I'm trasnmitting info andit is secure?
Where can I see that a site is secure there used to be a padlock visible and I cant see it anymore.

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The functionality of the padlock has been replaced by the How do I tell if my connection to a website is secure?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.
