Cursor mischief

I seek wisdom and counsel from this august collection of computer knowledge. Not too long ago, I noticed while perusing threads of different sites by using new tabs to drill down through any given thread, my arrow cursor (normal) would change to a red circle with a diagonal slash across it. When moving this new cursor over the currently open tab, black arrows would appear over the left vertical border of the tab, and a rectangular box with a shaded lower half would appear next to the cursor. Now I do ingest moderate quantities of cheap red wine while surfing, but I can't for the life of me figure out what this is. It's probably something so simple that my oxygen starved gray matter hasn't had the capacity to discover the cause yet. Be kind, I know it's probably simple, but what the hell is it?

Thanks all,

CY
