There is an icon on the right side of the address bar that is not the favicon or the search icon, it doesn't do anything when i click on it. I just want to know what it is and what it does.

Screen orientation lock. Double click the home button to bring up the recent app bar. Then finger swipe left-to-right to bring up the iPod controls. The icon on the far left (circle with lock in it) is the orientation lock button - press it, and the lock will go away.

There is Red Icon at the top bar and it says I have a virus and things keep popping up saying I have a virus and need to do a scan and pay for some sort of software to complete the scan, someone told me that this is a virus in. How do I get rid of it?

This could well be the notorious Mac Defender - which is an annoying program that tricks you into thinking that your Mac is infected with a virus, when the only infection is Mac Defender itself.
When surfing the web never EVER click on a link that says "Free anti-virus scan" or "Scan now" - they are nearly always scams which will end up infecting your computer. Although Macs are resistant to viruses, they're not resistant to user stupidity.
If you Google "Mac defender" then you'll find plenty of sites with instructions on how to remove this minor nuisance. Take this as a warning that you need to be more careful in your surfing habits.

Where is the little "F" box on the left before the address bar that allowed me to make quick posts to Facebook?

Before this update I had a little box on the left in front of the address bar that allowed me to click it and get a quick post box pop up to Facebook from whatever page I was on, now it is gone and I cannot find it. I had to do a reset of Firefox because it was running very slowly. I got a little message at the bottom that suggested the reset and so I did that. I have never had issues when there was an update. But it seems that my add-ons are gone :( I had a little menu drop down on the left side in front of the Most Visited that had all of the social media quick links also and it is gone now. I will check back in 24 hours to see if anyone has any ideas on where my little quick post button went.

That is not a standard feature of Firefox.
'''Reset''' removes all extensions and themes, along with other specific things, as explained in this support article.
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems#w_what-does-the-reset-feature-do
You need to reinstall which extension added that '''F''' to Firefox.

Why there is an icon in the task bar when Firefox is running?!

There is an icon in task bar, and some popup channels upon left-click.
I have been using Firefox for many years because it's CLEAN but this icon makes me feeling uncomfortable. I don't find the way to disable this icon in options or somewhere else.

The iTunes Icon on the task bar;
You need iTunes Preferences:
Edit>>Preferences>>Advanced tab.
Can you find that? There is a checkbox near the bottom: "Show iTunes icon in system tray".
The safe mode start: You need to press ctrl shift and then open iTunes, keep holding ctrl shift until iTunes opens.
Any program that you have that makes use of your iTunes library could potentially prevent iTunes closing as it has to be open in order for another program to access iTunes info.
Another thing that can cause problems is Bonjour. You can try stopping the bonjour service and then opening iTunes - then check if it closes.
The following article include instructions for stopping bonjour:

If you want a brute force way of looking for other things interfering with iTunes, try MSConfig:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2292?viewlocale=en_US
There is a link to the XP version on the page if necessary.
This is a diagnostic method, not a solution.

I want to Remove RSS icon from the address bar when I click on My SMF Forum

I have a SMF forum when I click on the login page I see an RSS icon in the right of the address bar next to a star.
The forum opens in an RSS to subscribe, which is stupid as it is not an RSS feed, it is a forum. I want to get rid of this and do not know how to do it.

This is a feature of firefox, although it may have been removed from firefox 4beta ( at least in default set up, no idea why). The appearance of the RSS icon within the location bar is intended to inform that RSS feeds are available from the site in use. You may note that this firefox forum we are using has such an icon displaying in the location bar, that is because feeds are available allowing you to track the threads, no doubt something similar happens with the SMF forum you mention.
If it is possible to remove the RSS icon from the location bar it will certainly not be straightforward, other than by upgrading to 4beta, and that is available now, and may be run whilst the stable version firefox 3.6 is still installed on your computer. (iirc there is an add-on available to add the rss icon to Fx4)
If a post answers your enquiry, you may wish to use the button alongside it to mark it as solved.

What does the icon on the top of the screen of the ipod touch that looks like a lock with a circle around it mean?, What does the icon on the top of the screen of the ipod touch that looks like a lock with a circle around it mean?

So at the top of my screen like where the time is... there is this symbol that looks like a lock with a circle around it. It is next to the battery icon. What does this mean?

It's the screen orientation lock. It prevents the screen from switching between portrait and landscape views when you turn the iPod.
To engage or disengage this feature, double click the home button. This will bring up the multitasking tray. Swipe all the way to the left until you see the iPod controls, then tap the gray icon with the lock on it. This will toggle the feature on and off.

When changing "browser.newtab.url" is there any way to prevent the address bar from getting focus?

When I change "browser.newtab.url" to about:home and open a new tab, focus is set to the address bar not the search box on the firefox home page. The same thing happens if i change the url to google.com or another search engine. Is there any way to prevent this from happening.

Custom new Tab has a small bug if the start page is exactly the same as the new tab page. Then the focus of the start page is on the address bar. Just leave the "www." out in the startpage and use "www." in the new tab page then it works perfectly. e.g.
Startpage: google.com
new Tab page : www.google.com
Now the focus of the start page is on the search box.

How do I make the tool bar displays look like Firefox 3.6?

I have gotten used to the order of the tool bars and would like to make them look like the previous version of Firefox (3.6). Is there a way to move them up or down in FF 4.0?

#If you are not seeing the Menu Bar (File, Edit, View History, Bookmarks, Tools, Help) hold down the ALT key while pressing the three keyboard letters VTM.
#*To turn off the Menu bar at any time and use the Firefox button (click on it to drop down the new Menu), click View > Toolbars, click on Menu Bar to remove the check mark. You can always turn it on again using the ALT+V+T+M in step 1 above.
#To move the tabs below toolbars, click View > Toolbars, click "Tabs on top" to un-check it. '''''NOTE: Instead of View > Toolbars, you can click in any blank space on any toolbar to open the dialog.'''''
#To display other toolbars not being displayed, repeat this process View > Toolbars and click on items that do not have a check mark; that will place a check mark next to those items and cause them to be displayed.
#To move items around on the toolbars, you can drag them to the desired location when the Customize Toolbar window is open: View > Toolbars > Customize.
#'''The Reload/Refresh button and the Stop button have been "unified/combined" on the right end of the URL/Location/Address bar''' (where you type a site address).
#*When the Customize Toolbar window is open (View > Toolbars > Customize), the two separate buttons are shown between the URL/Location/Address bar and the Search bar. You can drag those 2 buttons wherever you want them but the order is important when the two are adjacent to one another (side-by-side) :
#**Refresh/Reload on the left and Stop on the right, the buttons will be "unified/combined"
#**Stop on the left and Reload/Refresh on the right, the buttons will be separated
#**If left between the URL/Location/Address bar and the Search bar:
#***Refresh/Reload on the left and Stop on the right, the buttons will be "unified/combined" as part of the URL/Location/Address bar on the right end of it
#***Stop on the left and Refresh/Reload on the right, the buttons will be individually shown outside and to the right of the URL/Location/Address bar

How can I add the address bar that I've removed before ?

I removed address bar from my Firefox but now I can't bring it back . when I right click on the top bars, it doesn't show any choice to bring the address bar back !
Could you please help me ?

* If on Windows in Firefox 3.6 the menu bar is hidden then press and hold the Alt key down, that should make the "Menu Bar" appear.
* Go to "View > Toolbars" and put a check-mark for "Menu Bar" to make that permanent. See [[Menu bar is missing]]).
* Make sure that you have the ''Navigation Toolbar'' and other toolbars visible: "View > Toolbars"
* If items are missing then see if you can find them in the "View > Toolbars > Customize" window.
* If you see the item in the Customize window then drag it back from the Customize window to the Navigation toolbar.
* If you do not see that item then click the "Restore Default Set" button in the "View > Toolbars > Customize" window.

When I drag and drop an icon from the address bar to the desktop is does creat the shortcut but will not display the website icon, only the firefox icon, how can I display website icons?

When I drag and drop a website icon from the Forefox address bar to the desk top, the short cut is created but the icon that appears is the firefox Icon. I want to disply the icon from the website that the short cut refers to. I have checked all I can think of in my computer to no avail.

You have to assign the favicon yourself to the desktop shortcut (right-click the shortcut: Properties) after you have dragged the link to the desktop.
You can usually find the favicon in Tools >Page Info > Media and save the icon there.
Otherwise use the main domain of the website and add favicon.ico (e.g. mozilla.com/favicon.ico ) to display the favicon in a tab and save that image to a folder.

In Notes, I do not have a format bar. Under views there is no option to toggle this feature on or off. How then, can I set line spacing in documents? or is there some trick to getting the format bar that they say exists?

I want to be able to adjust line spacing in the Notes program. The help menu says that there is format bar and that I can choose this spacing. I do not have a format bar. They said that you can toggle this on and off under the View menu. I have not option in my dropdown that gives me an option to show or hide the format bar. Is there a reason why my version does not seem to have this feature?

Sorry for the wishy washy response but potential YES and possibly NO. Your user data should be intact but the OS may not be able to boot. You have a backup?

There is an icon on the right side of the address bar that looks like a boat.
