Address bar symbol
What is the symbol next to the lock?
(Searching Help for "Address bar icons" or "Address bar symbols" gave about 1,800(!) results.)

Hello mozda,
That symbol means that under the "Permissions" tab, when you scroll down to "Autoplay", "Use Default" is unchecked and "Block Audio and Video" is checked.
You'll see what I mean when you click on the padlock, click on the little black arrow next to "Connection secure", then on "More information", and choose the "Permissions" tab.

Thank you! Seems like there might be, or should be (but I haven't found it) one place under Help where all Mozilla software symbols are described.

If you want to, you could submit feedback, using this link :
You can normally hover such an icon to get a descriptive tooltip to see what function this icon has. If you click the padlock icon then you should see a list of modified permission settings and this should include the 'autoplay' function as that is what the icon in your screenshot is about like posted above.
