Details
The address bar at the top contains a new symbol that recently announced as a new website. I believe it generated a phone call from a foreign country, in which someone with a thick accent claimed my computer is broken. I have avoided using this address bar to find websites that aren't locked.

Do you have a screenshot of what you mean?
Did your computer make the phone call, or did someone call you? if the latter how did they get your phone number?

I have no idea of what certificate I need for security.
This small round symbol on the address bar to the right of the back arrow will not copy so I can show it to you.
The phone call was from a foreign country and happened the same evening I received the announcement connected to the symbol about its being a new website. I'm not positive the call is part of what happened with the symbol, but I notice aol's website is not secure in this address bar. Aol does have my phone number.

"Reset Firefox" was item 3 on the page David referenced in comment 3. He meant instead that you should do item 1 (open the troubleshooting page) and item 2 (copy the information to the clipboard) and then paste the results into a comment here in this bug report.
You should also go to https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/ and make sure all your plugins are up to date. Out of date plugins are how most people get hacked (uninstall or disable any you don't need; if you need help doing that visit http://support.mozilla.org/ ).
