Annoying widget on startup

You started pushing a widget a while back that shows the days I've been on Yahoo, concurrent and otherwise. This thing is annoying and I want it gone. I don't care how much I've used Yahoo on my devices and You already know via tracking cookies.

Make it go away or tell me how to get rid of it - PLEASE.

I don't think that we started pushing any yahoo widget. It's not our widget.

Thanks for the reply. Quickly too! That's what I've always liked about Firefox. The thing started displaying about 3 months ago, upon wake-up of the computer and opening Firefox or Safari on my Macbook Pro. Since it shows up on both browsers - and the purple color looks like it is - I suspect Yahoo is the culprit, but don't suspect a reply to the post will come anytime soon.

Screen shot of the widget is attached. Usually it has a S - S calendar showing the days Yahoo was visited. This thing is trivial but that's also why it's so annoying. What do I care about how many days I've used Yahoo! I need a pep talk to use a browser? Maybe it's time to go to another home page and browser.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Yes, that is not a Firefox thing. It looks like something that the Yahoo support team should be able to help you with.
