Firefox 25 now has an orange icon that appears in the urlbar for some windows. What is the purpose of this icon? What is it telling me? How do I make use of it? I'm looking for info on this icon and its purpose.

Here's a screenshot of the image: http://i.imgur.com/XbPUr2b.png

hello tjace, this icon only signals that the page is an internal firefox page: https://msujaws.wordpress.com/2013/10/29/my-contribution-to-todays-firefox-release/

how come all "internal pages" don't have it then? For example, about:blank does not have this icon. Does this mean about:blank is not a secure page?
