After upgrading to FF 6.0.2 I've noticed that whenever I highlight text on a page a little window/box pops up in my lower left corner saying "Number of occurrences: 10" or whatever the number of instances might be for that word. All the occurrences are highlighted as well.

How can I remove this little window/box/popup? To what feature is it connected so I can change preferences? I have been thus far unsuccessful in my attempts to close the box and my detective skills are sorely lacking since I have not been able to find the source on my own.
