That is not a built-in feature of Firefox, but is part of the Tab Mix plus add-on.

What it means is the tab has been selected for merging.

To see what it does have 2 Firefox windows open, in one of them open several tabs then select a few of them so that they have "(*)" displayed in the tab. Now use the Tab Mix Plus merge window option, the selected tabs will be merged with the other Firefox window, and the unselected tabs will just be closed.
