Firefox icon still present on screen after exiting video call

Hi there,

I have this weird issue that I have never encountered before. After getting off of a video call today the small firefox logo that appears beside the microphone will not disappear. I can move it around, and even minimise my windows and it will stay on my screen. I've attached a picture of the issue. Is there a way to get rid of this or would I just have to close all my windows? Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello stephenbmulligan, please try itm

   Right click on your Firefox icon (not the one in your task bar), if it's not on your desktop, find it in the Mozilla Firefox program folder.
   After right clicking, select Properties, then the Compatibility tab, then check the box that says Disable display scaling on high DPI settings.

Hi , there is no built-in way to remove that icon.

You can use a custom style rule in a userChrome.css file to hide it or to make it more transparent. I haven't experimented with this myself, but here are a couple resources if you want to give it a try:

Hope it would resolve your problem
