How to see websites are secure?
We used to do searches on Google and all the websites shown there would be an icon that stated if the site was good or not. We have Norton for our security. Now since Firefox update there are no icons appearing.

Like a lot of other users you are waiting for Norton to update their products to FF4
As Andy.c said, Norton is lagging behind in updating their toolbar products for Firefox 4. To add, Norton is not the only internet security product lagging behind, and Firefox is not the only browser that Norton and other vendors are not currently supporting - even IE9/Chrome, etc are not yet supported by some.
Firefox has its own malware/phishing protection, so you are still protected. Also, your Norton product continues to protect the rest of your system. See:

- Sample warning screens from Firefox malware/phishing protection:
Firefox also has its Site Identity Button for secure connections. See:

You really should look for a security vendor that supports their users better than Norton / Symantec does. We go thru this every time there is a new version of Firefox released, Norton takes 6 to 8 weeks to fix their crap after the Firefox release is out instead of being prepared for that release ahead of time. I wonder what is going to happen later this year when Firefox 5 and maybe Firefox 6 is released; are Norton users going to have to wait 2 months for an update from Norton for each new version? Hell, are Norton users going to be without their Norton toolbars longer than those toolbars will work before the next major Firefox release comes out?
They way it seems to work to me is that Norton can't simply support their existing users by coming up with an extension update, like every other extension developer for Firefox does, Norton has to roll out an entirely new version of NIS or 360 that they want their customers to pay for just to get updated extensions for Firefox. What happened to the concept of annual renewals for security protection? Do they really "extend" your agreement when they force you to upgrade to a new version before your current agreement runs out? Not according to a couple of articles I read last spring when Firefox were going thru this right after Firefox 3.6 came out and Norton wasn't prepared for it.
