I have windows xp. Since updating to Firefox 5.0, I don't see the lock symbol when I'm on a secure sight. With the previous version of Firefox, I did. How do I know the sight is secure? Why don't I see the lock symbol?

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The functionality of the padlock has been replaced by the How do I tell if my connection to a website is secure?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