The "spellso" tab appears above the usual Mozilla icon and id . Its invasive and I understand its a search engine that redirects. I want it gone!

hello, you may have malicious addons present.

  1. go to the firefox menu ≡ > addons > extensions and in case there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
  2. in addition run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the free version of malwarebytes and adwcleaner to make sure that adware isn't present in other places of your system as well.
