Since installing FireFox 42.0 I start receiving what seems to be a Mozilla ad: "Bring your bookmarks & passwords with you. Firefox is now on iOS & Android. Get it now".

Why is this happening? I do not remember allowing Firefox/Mozilla to spam me. How do I turn this "Spam me" feature off? Is it collecting/sending any information back to base?
