A new icon appeared on my dock that replaced the "fox around the globe" icon? Is this some kind of spyware or virus?

I have a Macbook Pro and today I noticed the familiar "fox around the globe" icon was gone from my dock and in it's place was something that looks like a protracting compass, like the letter "A" on a sheet of paper . When I clicked on it, "Firefox" opened? Is that some kind of spyware or virus?
