I recently updated the new version of Firefox. I HATE the PCtools icon/tool. How do I get rid of it?

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

I finally got rid of it! Right click on your Firefox icon, and you should be able to reset Firefox to its default settings, which gets rid of PCTools. The same thing happened when I opened IE, so it's not part of Firefox update.
