OtShot was downloaded with Firefox. How do I remove this when it doesn't show up in Control Panel?

I downloaded Firefox from the FIrefox website. Along with it came OtShot. I was not given an option to download this program, it simply came along with Firefox. I removed it from Control Panel, but remnants of it still remain. Every time I start up the computer OtShot asks me if I want to upload all of my Outlook contacts. This is very frustrating and if not solved will very soon lead me away from being a Firefox user. Please tell me how to get rid of this.

OtShot does not come with any version of Firefox for any OS from Mozilla.org

There would be many mentions of it on forum if your claim was true.
