How can two icons, the 'add to taskbar' icon and the 'picture in a picture' icon, be removed from the address bar?
These icons appeared recently in my Firefox browser I can't remove them. The only recent changes included uninstalling SuperAntiSpyware after finding that Microsoft PC Manager is a better option, which has performed excellently without issues.
Additionally, a free VPN (Proton) was briefly used from the Firefox browser without installation, but after finding it complicated to set up, it was deleted. A few hours later, I noticed the two icons as the windows were misbehaving and they are causing a slowdown in the PC's performance. They do not seem to be add-ons or extensions.
How do I remove the icons and return to the previous performance?

Hello
Take a look at https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/blinking-picture-in-picture-icon/m-p/104633/highlight/true#M40555, and, another subject.
Hi, thank you for replying.
I changed the About:config setting for PIP to false and restarted Firefox. The PIP icon was gone but an icon to Toggle Reader view had replaced it.
I see don't understand about the Add to Taskbar icon. Should it be switched off in Taskbar?

Thank you for your assistance.
Everything is now back to normal. I may toggle on reader view as it is good for reading articles on a busy page. The secret of trying new features is to be able to remove them if they do not suit.
From another thread, to hide the "add tab to taskbar" icon in the address bar: Type about:config in the address bar and change browser.taskbarTabs.enabled to false.
