I registered to ask a question and now everytime I log on to Firefox Help - it has already identified me - How do I stop this.

The other week I asked a question about how to use Skype on Firefox - (answered to my satisfaction) To do this I had to register. Now Firefox identifies me as soon as I click on Help. This makes me very uncomfortable as it means that Firefox is now tracking me all the time. How do I remove this so that when I want to ask a question I am anonymous until I log in. In fact how do I ensure that firefox isn't tracking me in anyway. Note I've already set up Firefox with no tracking
