How to remove the Firefox disk icon

I uninstalled Firefox last week because I had problems with computer (fans) after the last update. Just a coincidence I think because I continued to have the same problems after uninstalling, so I reinstalled it today. However, I'm unable to remove an orange square drive? my desktop icon. I can only take it off if I leave Firefox. After opening Firefox again, I not only to get the icon back, but I also get training install area once again, that is to say... big box with blue and orange Firefox icon dictate to put in my file of the application. If I do this, Firefox re - install once again, and I start over. I restarted my computer hoping that would be useful, but it did not. If it's harmless, ok, but he was never there for the many years I have used Firefox and it's a pain to have to click on the box and also have the icon on my desktop, all the time.

You're clicking on the stub Installer to launch Firefox after that you already installed. Please remove any installer stub after you have already added the icon in the Applications folder.

You can then pin it to your doc so that Setup of heel will no longer launch icon.

  • How to remove the Firefox orange button at the top left of the screen

    How remove Firefox orange button at the top left of the screen, it is a serious obstacle to my impulsive reflex hit "File" at the top left of the screen. Is throwing me off the coast of the big time, but also another source of frustration {absent these new version basic navigation features would be the first temporary fixed through 'extension' but until the next version makes it no longer work} [is not a plugin or the Correction-nazis will flood this thread!]

    So, how do you remove this huge blazing orange block with the label at the top left of the screen?

    I tried to ask this question in another thread, but apparently working away from home for more than one month is the once unthinkable and a sign of decline. This thread is now "archived" and here-car, locked. So I have to make a new thread to ask this again.

    A large number of text for a simple problem, but as I've learned since the update de.28 or other, nothing to do with Mozilla is simple. Especially the navigation and functionality. I have yet to wrap my brain around the fact that they slaughtered this program so much in so little time. If java and SWF plugins continued to work on the former, I would have NEVER updated!

    The community is much too complacent on these MAJOR issues.

    I think that I fixed it by changing the theme to default to something ugly, then return to default... Box orange GONE!

    Thank you for your time and patience.

  • How to remove the bookmarks bar icons?

    I got the icons disposed V28 and before but on update V29, they reappear and I can't find anywhere to remove. I've looked everywhere I can think of and can't find no option to view only the text of the bookmark. Why do you need to change things when they worked very well? I just spent over an hour getting back to what I had. So frustrating!

    Thank you Moses.

    Sorry for the slow response, but it took me a while to finally make it work. I made some mistakes at first, but eventually figured it out and got it right. I'm pretty certain this allows to be replaced by a simple selection in options. So much easier and much less time consuming. I would like to know why it was deleted. In addition, it seems that Firefox to take significantly more memory in V29 what he use to V28 and before. If so, why is this?
