Constant changes to the Firefox UI between versions are annoying and while I understand your desire to improve the product lots of changes just serve to irritate.

Hence my question. Where in Firefox 6 is the "secure page" or padlock icon displayed when using SSL?

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The functionality of the padlock has been replaced by the How do I tell if my connection to a website is secure?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