When you go to make purchases you always had a pad-lock in the lower right corner letting you know it was secure. This latest version does not and I'm concerned about on-line purchases.

In Firefox 4 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The functionality of the padlock has been replaced by the How do I tell if my connection to a website is secure?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.

You can use this extension to get a padlock on the location bar.
