If you open up a blank window of FireFox, and hit F10, why is there a little window up in the left hand corner?

    That is a well-known issue in FireFox. Presumeably, it will be fixed one day.

    I don't understand what it could possibly be.

    It also gets selected if you command - tilde (~) through Firefox's windows. Mildly irritating.

    I think it uses that window to perform certain background functions, like pop-up blocking. I'm not 100% certain, but that's my guess.

    i must say though, you're very advanced for a 2-day old. most babies can't even hold up the weight of their own heads for quite some time.
