When I updated, certain icons appeared automatically when I open Firefox. Two of them I've never ever even used before. Someone has paid Firefox to include them. I don't want them there cluttering up the desk top. How do I remove them? Also, Etsy is a website I use a lot and it no longer appears as an icon. How do I add it? Thanks.

In that case it should have the Sponsored label.

To remove sponsored shortcuts, follow this guide -> Sponsors on the home page and New Tab page.
