On previous versions when logged onto a secure site a green lock symbol appeared in the lower right hand corner of the page. Since downloading the most current version of Firefox, this is no longer displayed. How then do I confirm the site I am on is encrypted?

The Statusbar is gone in Firefox 4.0 (six months ago) and the "lock" with it. Security information about a web page is shown by the Site Identity Button.
The old padlock could give users a false sense that a site is secure by not supplying all of the information about a site and only showed that there is a secure connection that didn't guarantee that you are connected to the right server. The Site Identity Button was introduced in Firefox 3.0 to show more complete "identity" information for HTTPS web pages.

You can add a padlock to the location bar with the Padlock add-on- https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/padlock-icon
