The old status bar showed a lock icon when on a secure site - where is that lock icon in vers 4?
The status bar was along the bottom of the window. At the right end of that bar, a lock icon would appear when you are on a secure site, like banking or bill pay. With the status bar now gone, where do I see that lock icon?
