turn off tiny shopping cart over Firefox icon on the task bar
Hello: Thanks for creating Firefox. This is my first question after more than a decade using it. I couldn't find proper information about this. This week Firefox started to show a tiny shopping cart icon over the task bar icon of Firefox (image attached). I don´t know what it's and I can't find the functionality that make that appear. So, How do I disable it? I use Firefox everywhere, and I don't like it, specially in my job's laptop as my boss can occasionally see it and it's obviously not work-related in my case. I use chatgpt to get answers and it points to a "Shopping Assistant" feature, but I don't find it. Is it related? The term is so common that I couldn't narrow down to my specific question (what is it and how to disable it)
I use windows 11 and 138.0.4 (64-bit)
Thanks in advance for help

Does that also happen in Troubleshoot mode (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/diagnose-firefox-issues-using-troubleshoot-mode)?
Hello Ed. Thanks for reply.
I turned on the troubleshooting mode and the behavior is the same: the shopping cart is still there over Firefox's icon, so this confirm that it is a purely Firefox related thing.
Any other suggestion?
Thanks
Does that also happen with a clean new profile (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profile-manager-create-remove-switch-firefox-profiles)? If not, you could switch back to your broken profile and refresh FF (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/refresh-firefox-reset-add-ons-and-settings) there. That will save you some time restoring things.
Thanks Ed.
I finally found the origin: it is the "profile" function that adds an "avatar" to the task bar icon. I cannot turn it off anyway, but at least I can change it. I leave a screenshot so maybe it helps somebody in the future.
thanks
