where does the "lock" show when I'm in a secure website such as paying a bill with online banking.

Such as when you're using Internet Explorer, a locked lock shows when you're in a secure website. I want to use my online internet banking but am concerned with the fact I don't see this locked lock anywhere.

The Statusbar is gone and the "lock" with it. Security information about a web page is shown by the Site Identity Button.
The old padlock could give users a false sense that a site is secure by not supplying all of the information about a site and only showed that there is a secure connection that didn't guarantee that you are connected to the right server. The Site Identity Button was introduced in Firefox 3.0 to show more complete "identity" information for HTTPS web pages.

You can add a padlock to the location bar with the Padlock add-on- https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/padlock-icon
