Why are there symbols covering my address bar?

There are symbols covering all but the extreme left part of the address bar of my browser on most (but not all) of the sites I visit, since updating firefox yesterday. I can't get rid of them by right-clicking on them- it only gives options to hide the menu or bookmarks bars. The symbols don't do anything. I took a screenshot but there doesn't seem to be a way to post it here... What is going on??

Hi,

You can't attach a screenshot in your initial post but you can do it in a reply to me. This feature hasn't been added yet but developers are aware.

Can you give me a screenshot so I know what you're seeing? Please see How do I create a screenshot of my problem? to create a screenshot
Once you've done this, attach the saved screenshot file to your forum post by clicking the Browse... button below the Post your reply box. This will help us to visualize the problem.
