What happened to the lock icon appearing on a secured web page?
Since I upgraded to Firefox 5.0, I do not see the yellow lock icon on the web page indicating it is a secured page, such as an online shopping site where a credit card number or address is entered.

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 The functionality of the padlock has been replaced by the Site Identity Button on the left end of the location (address) bar.

This has actually existed since 3.0
