• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Odd icon on my Firefox tool bar

I got this strange red icon looks like a red duck with headphones on the Firefox toolbbar and when you put your cursor over it
it says "no downloads on this page. I want to delete it and don't know how it got there in the first place.

Anyone know what this is?

With Firefox running, bring up the Task Manager. Look at the list of Processes. Look for anything that is music related, download related, plug in related. It will be in that list somewhere. I have no idea what it is or where it came from....but that is where I would start in removing it.....

Once you have identified what it is, go to Control Panel and the Add/Remove Programs thingie. Find the download toolbar thingie....and uninstall it. You will most likely have to do a reboot to fully remove it.

I would venture a guess that it has something to do with music applications and/or downloads. Possibly you added a piece of software to your computer -- a lot of these come with attempts to have you insert a toobar or define a default search engine or, in your case, add an icon for some default service. You probably didn't check the "No, Thanks" box when it was added -- if it had a "No, Thanks" box.

Obio's post pretty well sums up how to get rid of it.
