Removing Delicious Sidebar and Save Icon

After my upgrade to FF30 yesterday (that was also a nightmare), FF opened with a Delicious sidebar, and it also put a "save" icon to the right of my search bar.

I have no bloody idea where they came from, I don't use Delicious, haven't in years.

Before FF30, neither of these were anywhere to be found.

How do I remove them?

This is not a Delicious Toolbar, I will repeat, this is not a toolbar that can be deleted through Windows Add/Remove, nor do I have any Delicious add-on.

I've already seen those instructions, they are not relevant.

I don't have any automatic updates to any software, not even Windows updates, I run Firefox in Sandboxie with few permissions, this didn't get by either me or Sandboxie, it somehow magically appeared with FF30.

Where did this sidebar and icon come from?

If this is some new Firefox-Delicious combination, it, like everything else since about FF20+, is a gotcha that is becoming tedious.

Can somebody please point me to a solution?

Thanks, in advance.

Chosen solution

Close, you did get me on the right track, though.

It is listed as a "service" under add-ons, now removed, problem solved.

I have no idea how it got there.

Thank you...

Open Menu?

Module?

Are we even remotely talking about Firefox?

I have no idea what and where these are...

Sorry.

I think there is a special section of the Add-ons page for these social network sidebars, entitled Services. Could you check? Either:

  • Ctrl+Shift+a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons

In the left column, click Services. Is Delicious listed here?
