Since the installation of update of firefox I have more a padlock displayed when on secure sites. Is it still OK?

Since the installation of update of Firefox today, 11/11/2011, when incoming secure web sites I no longer have the display of a padlock. I still have Https. I wonder if the security of these barns is still OK.

The status bar is gone and the 'blocking' with it from Firefox 4.0. Safety information on a web page are shown by the Site identity button.

The former lock could give users a false sense that a site is safe to not to provide information to the site and showed that there is a secure connection that does not guarantee that you are connected to the right server. The Site identity button is introduced in Firefox 3.0 to show more complete information of 'identity' for HTTPS web pages.

You can add a padlock in the address bar with the add-on locks- https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/padlock-icon
