I just installed Firefox V8. I'm looking for the indicator that shows my session is secure, when I go to a known website to make an online payment. Where is that indicator?
There always used to be an indicator at the bottom of the screen(I believe) that looked like a small lock, to show that you were in a secure session. What happened to it, in Firefox V8?

The Padlock is no longer part of Firefox; it was removed beginning in Firefox 4. The padlock shows that there is a secure connection but does not supply additional information. You could have made a typographical error and still have been connected to a secure connection. The padlock was replaced in Firefox 3 with the Site Identity Button. Familiarize yourself with the Site Identity Button at the left end of the Location Bar:

You can install this add-on if you wish:
