Where is the little 'lock' showing me that i'm entering info on a secure site? i'm hestitant to enter credit card numbers or passwords on this new version of Firefox

I always look for that padlock on the lower right hand corner of the screen when i go on my bank account site or enter any confidential user info such as account numbers/passwords. This version of Firefox doesn't seem to have it, so how do I know I'm on a secure site? This has me a little nervous. i'd like to switch back to version 3.x if I cannot get that with this version.
thanks.

The padlock has been replaced by the site identity button, for details on using it see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Site+Identity+Button

I have Norton 360 on my computer and with the older version of Firefox, Norton remembered all my passwords but this new version of Firefox doesn't. How can this be fixed or is there a way to fix this?

I have Norton 360 on my computer. I use Firefox regularly and I downloaded the latest version of Firefox. I was able to use Norton 360 in Firefox. Norton saved all my passwords I use online. Now the latest update of Firefox does not allow me to use Norton 360. Is this compatibility problem with Firefox or with Norton? Can this be fixed? If so, how? What do I need to do?

Works for me on Linux with Firefox 10.0.1
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

How do I "save tabs and quit" in this new version of Firefox, as I did in the older version? I want to be able to see the same websites open from the last time I closed the computer.

In an earlier version of Firefox, when I went to close it, I would get a prompt "save tabs and quit?" that allowed me to see the same websites open from the last time I closed the computer. Where is that feature on the new version of Firefox?

Firefox 4 and later versions save the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session. 
Use "File > Exit" or "Firefox > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox") if you want to restore multiple windows or otherwise have problems with restoring tabs. 
You can use "History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time. 
You may need to click the orange/gray Firefox button to see History. 
There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default about:home Home page. 
Using the "Show my windows and tabs from last time" setting is a more reliable way to restore session data.

How do I tell if a site is secure when I'm ordering a product? I'm not seeing the little lock icon. perhaps that was a Microsoft thing.

I tried a new website where I wanted a garden tool. Then tried Amazon.com and still nothing I recognized to tell me it was "safe" to order.

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 [[Site Identity Button]] on the left end of the location bar.

You can click the [[Site Identity Button]] on the left end of the location bar to see the padlock if there is a secure connection. 
A click on the "More Information" button will show more details about the connection. 
The background color of the "Site Identity Button" on the left end of the location bar will change color (blue or green) and show the domain in case of a secure HTTPS connection.
* Hover the [[Site Identity Button]] then to see "Verified by xxxx"
* Click the "Site Identity Button" on the left end of the location bar to see the padlock
* Click the "More Information" button in that pop-up to see additional information about the connection.
You can use this extension to get a padlock on the location bar.

After installing firefox 5 I now find that my google toolbar has disappeared because it is incompatable with this new version of Firefox....how do I restore my Google toolbar as I have all my bookmarks and information on this toolbar

after installing firefox 5 I now cannot get by Google toolbar and all my bookmarks are on there. How do I go back to my previous version of firefox and get my Google toolbar back?

Where? All I've found is the older version that is NOT compatible with FF5
Provide a link please.

I need the old cache system with strict alphabetical filter, not the "intelligent" one. Is it possible to have it on this new version of Firefox ? Thanks.

Hi, is it possible to have a strict alphabetical filter for the cache suggestions in fields (like with the previous version) instead of the new "intelligent" system? For example, if I type "fire dr", I only want suggestions "fire dragon" or "fire drake" but not "dragon fire" or "dread fire". Thanks!
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I updated Firefox

Hi Morbus,
thanks for your answer.
First I must say that my question was in fact concerning Firefox 3.6.3. I updated my Firefox 3.0.19 to 3.6.3 and that's why I had this problem. But I also kept my 3.0.19 version and use it when I need the alphabetic field cache recognition (to play an online game in which you must be the first to recognize a picture and type its name in a field).
I launched 3.6.3 and install the cache utility you recommend, but unfortunately it's not the function I need. My question doesn't concern URL cache but ''field'' cache, and I don't need a soft that opens a new window.
I just would like to get the old alphabetic cache so the options are more restricted when I type, so I gain a little time. With the "new" cache, I have to type the whole name so the cache is not useful anymore.
Sorry, I don't know if I make myself clear...

Iconix icons not showing with this new version of Firefox. Why?

On previous version my emails were checked by Iconix and showed an Icon for reckognised genuine emails from ligitemate sources. On this new Firefox version this seems to have been hidden or is not happening.

I apologize, I wasnt quite clear enough. I meant the center button on my touchpad like the center scroll button on a mouse, not the up down left right arrows on the keyboard. Sorry for the confusion.

I have a password manager built into my fingerprint scanner. It worked on the older version of Firefox but it will not on this new version. It will not recognize log in pages and will not load information.

With the old version, all I had to do was go to the log in page to any of my email accounts or membership sites and scan my finger. It would fill in the fields and open my account. I like this new version of Firefox, but if I am not able to use that password manager then I will have to install the older version.

A 2008 black MacBook can run OS X Lion (OS X 10.7). However, if you want to use that Mac for apps that do not work with the new MacBook, I recommend you to leave it with Mac OS X 10.6.8, because OS X Lion removes compatibility with PowerPC apps.
Do not worry about the battery of the new MacBook Pro. You can replace it yourself or take it to an Apple Store or reseller, and the cost is similar. However, it's important to take the Mac to an Apple Store or reseller if your Mac's battery fails while the Mac is in warranty, because you will get the battery replaced for free.

How do I change the tab sizes in the new version of Firefox?

Hi,
Thanks for any help in advance.
Of course the new Firefox is messing with me...But I have one specific question...
Facts...
1) I own a iMac...17 inch...So I can open lots and lots of tabs at once.
2) I just rebooted my computer back to brand new.
3) I'm working on finding all my old stuff, but can't seem to find two specific items...
In the previous version, and before I rebooted, I had about 40 tabs (Including Cluster Tabs) opening-up whenever I started a browse session. But now, I can't seem to control the size of the tabs, so they get less narrow as I had them?
I've already downloaded "Vulcanize Tabs" but that's no help...I think it was a specific theme that allowed me to do this, but many of the themes don't work with this new version of Firefox.
I suspect I'll just have to wait until the themes are updated? Or, do you have a better idea?
Also...
I want to get rid of the "X" on each tab and only have a close tab button on the far right of my tabs navigation bar.
Any help?
If so, thanks again!
Ps...Is there a way to reverse my downloading of this newest Firefox version and go back to the previous one until this new one gets many of the bugs worked-out?

You can also look at Tab Mix Plus.

What happened to the toolbar? The only way i can exit this new version is to end the task, cntl/alt/del. I think you screwed up a good thing!!

I no longer have the tool bar. The only way to exit is to use the task manager to exit. Bookmarks, history, nothing is visible. When exiting via the task function, it says the system is waiting for a reply, but nothing shows on screen. There is no way I will upgrade my other computers to this new version of Firefox!!

There is no orange button shown. All I have shown is:
the Firefox Logo
Google box to enter search item, search
Signup
Restore previous screen
Only way out is cntl/alt/del

Do you have the "Green Arrow" icon on one of your toolbars? That usually will list your most recent downloads with a button to open the folder where they are saved.
If you don't have that, you can open the full download list using either:
* Ctrl+j
* Tools > Downloads
* History > Show All History, then click Downloads in the left column
Can you find the download listed there and click the "Open Containing Folder" button?
Are you downloading Flash or Acrobat/Reader?
For Flash try: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
For Acrobat/Reader, you may not need an update.
Firefox's plugin check site only recognizes the Adobe XI (11) series as current, but if you have checked for updates in your Adobe Reader X or Adobe Acrobat X product (Help > Check for Updates) then you do not need to update the plugin. For this older Reader/Acrobat version, please rely on Adobe for information on available updates and not the plugin check site.

Z77a-g45 where does the little speaker go and why does my computer pause on c5

so my computer boots does evrything plays games etc but when it starts these numbers in the bottom right corner go off then it stops at c5 for a second then goes to bios screen then boots to windows. is this bad?
also where does the little speaker plug into.

it will be fine its just a hang not an error or failure! its just struggling for a short time to get the hard drive opperating thats all and is nothing to loose any sleep over!
Hang = nothing to worry about really
failure = thats the oposite of a hang its where it never starts and is to actually worry about!
unless your computer never gets past that code and refused to load because its failed its not a issue to really bother about! like Xmad said you could try a BIO's update to the most recent one and do a firmware update if you have an SSD! its just a detection hang and an update of both could fix it!
if you are thinking about doing a bios update use this >>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<
do not use live update to do the bio's flash as it has a 50/50 chance of bricking the board and the tool above has never had a failure of a flash!

This latest version of Firefox is complete pants! Why can I no longer have a nice, tidy little row of icons across the top so that I click and find things at an instance like I could with the Google Toolbar?

This latest version of Firefox is complete pants! Why can I no longer have a nice, tidy little row of icons across the top so that I can click and find things at an instance, like I could with the Google Toolbar?
Example:- I've just spent 20 minutes looking how to 'translate' after I installed that add-on, there it was! A tiny little icon in the bottom right of the screen, I find the new set up very messy and very hard to navigate. Why can't I have the same set up on my toolbar that I've had for the last ten years? It's that bad that I'm even considering going back to I.E.

Thanks but you're only telling me stuff I already know, that dosen't explain how I get the new version of Firefox to look neat and tidy like it always used to. I can no longer have all my icons that I use, I can no longer access things as easily as I could and the whole thing looks very bare and basic now! A bigger mess than even Google Chrome.
I've spent most of this evening trying to get stuff back that is now lost because of this 'upgrade' and I'm now giving up with it. Well done! You've totally ruined what was the best browser for years.

The little google search bar thats usually on the right side of my window is now gone after updating. how do i get it back?

i just updated my software and when i re-opened safari, the little google search bar thats usually on the right hand side of the window is now gone. how do i get it back?

Sorry. That is Safari 6's "new look".
Now they are copying Chrome and other browsers that combine them so that they don't take up so much space on your iPhone oops, I meant your screen.
Tabs are as big as a house as well, but that just seems to be a bug.
