I think I finally found what you are looking for .......
This add-on will put the Gmail Contacts icon on your toolbar :

Edit : Had posted the wrong add-on earlier.

I am looking on Firefox on a computer, not an android device. Sorry
Thought there might be an easy fix. I read all the replies and either you are talking way above my competency level, or what you are saying is greek to me. Sorry. I think Firefox deleted something that I used and didn't tell me about it. So it is a problem with firefox.
And I quote one of the responses to this string of messages that keeps coming in: (note android in answer) This didn't tell me anything:
Edit or delete contacts
After you add contacts to your Android device, you can make changes or delete them.
Contacts saved to your Google Account will sync with Google Contacts and all your Android devices.
You're misquoting Google. The page that you're looking at is set to Computer

When you read that article carefully, you'll see that you can choose either "Computer" or "Android" - I clicked on "Computer" for you ......
Huh? I don't understand the comment
What am I supposed to be synching with what and for what reason?
Ask Google. They wrote it.

That is just in case you would want to sync - you can ignore that part.
How do I get contacts screen in firefox?
Yes, but how do you get from firefox to what you sent? There used to be a way to do this from firefox, but now that option is gone.
Click on the link:
I have already given you that link (and others) many times ....
But while I was supposed to be asleep last night, I was thinking that maybe you don't know that when you click on a link that takes you to a certain page, it is actually the browser (Firefox) that takes you there. You'll be using Firefox when you go to a page.
You're using Firefox on this page, and you're using Firefox on Gmail, on Google Search, etc. etc..
Earlier in this thread I gave you a link to an article that explains what a browser is and does :

You told me that your son is too busy to explain things to you; please tell him I said that he needs to make time for his dad (or mom, whichever the case may be).

I've been under the impression that all you want is to see an icon on the Firefox toolbar, no matter on what page you are, that you can click on and that will open your Gmail Contacts (?) The add-on I gave you link to will do just that; all you have to do is download it .....
I get the address book when I click on your link, but where is the link on the Firefox screen? I don't remember or save links anywhere.

You can bookmark that link (I told you how to do that).
(or you could add it to the Top Sites on the new tab page, like I also told you before)
An add-on will be way easier though .....
I just noticed that the add-on I suggested earlier, won't put a Contacts icon on your toolbar, but a Gmail icon - my sincere apologies for that ! This is the add-on that will put an icon on your toolbar that will open Contacts :
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/open-google-contacts-with-t/
I seldom use Gmail, but when I do and I want to see my Contacts; all I have to do is click on the cogwheel in the upper right corner and scroll down to "Contacts".
But we've been over and over this, to no avail ...... :(
Why don't you just give that add-on a try ? If it doesn't do what you want, you can always remove it again.
Most of what you say is greek to me. Don't understand it, so I must be stupid. Firefox deleted this button and didn't tell anyone where to find it in the latest version. But that is a result of always publishing new versions.
We used to buy cars that would run for a couple hundred thousand miles without any heavy maintnance work. Now we have to take our car in every 1000 miles so they can do a software upgrade. Shows that they didn't write the software correctly when they built the car. So now we are buying junk.
