If Firefox is your topmost launch bar icon, then I'm pretty sure that
is the workspace indicator, and you are in your left most workspace,
workspace 1. The whole thing is a long round-ended bar with that white
rod in it and one or more grey dots.

Click on it to open your workspace selector - you should see a somewhat
downscaled representation of all the windows in your current workspace,
and a row of rectangles above it that let you select a different
workspace. Not sure how many there are by default, but definitely at
least two.

Click on any of the rectangles to choose a different workspace. Press
ESC or click the selector again to return to the currently selected
workspace. Alternatively, cycle through the workspaces with special-
alt-left and special-alt-right.

Regards, K.
