There is a yellow square with a question mark on the FireFox OPTIONS / settings page. If the mouse hovers over it, it reacts a little like it is something to click, but there is no indication what it is about. Is it supposed to be there, and if so, what for? It has a BLACK QUESTION MARK inside of the small YELLOW SQUARE. Any help is appreciated.
