What's this orange "Work" with briefcase icon in Firefox?

+3
−3

I've used Firefox for approximately 10 years, but I've never seen this before! Please see below.

I was working under the premise (very unlikely true, but still) that interacting with that icon would do nothing at all and then the asker could be justified in asking the question. And since searching "Firefox work icon" also didn't return anything... All in all, the benefit of the doubt, and thus I'm giving VLDR the chance to respond before voting.

Quasimodo's comment is correct. Nothing happens when I hover or click it. Googling "Firefox work icon" returned nothing.

What happens when you click on it?

As a Firefox user, I would expect some more information by clicking on that icon. . Why did you not do that (premise: you trust your browser, which is obviously a valid premise since you are using it)? If you did, why did you not include what you found out by doing so?

Or even just hover over it. Often a "tool tip" will appear.

The real answer to your question, Quasímodo‭, is apparently "I didn't think of it, and I'm looking for instant gratification. I've found asking here is less work than actually reading documentation or otherwise trying to solve the problem myself in some way before asking. I know people don't like me doing that here, and keep downvoting my posts. But there isn't any downside to that, so I don't care. Someone will come along and do my work for me anyway, even if just answering in a comment. Laziness is rewarded, or at least works here with no consequences. All you dweebs are going to keep giving me what I want no matter how much you protest! LoL."

Flagging for closing due to no research.

No, not all us dweebs. But there will always be one who is on a mission to help humanity and who doesn't mind being sucked dry by a help vampire. And one is more than enough...

(And, to play the devils advocate: Where else should the user go asking their often rather poor questions? Not on SE anymore, given that decade-long "temp" (lol) ban on their account...)

Olin, your comments are unnecessary and unmannerly, to say the least. I edited my post.
