    My guess is that you have some sort of HTML/CSS validator installed.

    Basically, because Firefox is a standards-compliant web browser, we tend to rely a lot on W3C specifications. The W3C provides a service that will look over a website and see if your HTML is valid.

    Firefox has the option to install such a thing: you probably installed it.

    That's the DOM inspecter extension, it comes with a default firefox install. If you want to get rid of it remove it from the extension dialog.
    Nothing is worse than ten penguins fighting over which is better, vi or emacs.

    Although my Gnome desktop has a Firefox browser pre-installed, I do not use it. I was using the Konqueror browser when I noticed the icon. I appreciate your responses but I am wondering if this thing is supposed to appear when I am not using Firefox. I am also going to have to look up the terms you have mentioned. I have to confess to being a computer illiterate but I Thank You for responding.
