How do I click on a toolbar icon that isn't there to close a tip?
This box appears on my screen whatever I do, and is proving impossible to remove because the icon, a white 0 in a green 'teardrop' is nowhere to be seen in my toolbars:
Look for this icon in your toolbar. Clicking it lets you see how a website is tracking you. Click the toolbar icon now to close this tip.

First, try to reset Firefox. Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings. This simple step will eliminate many Firefox problems with only one click.
A few other basic trouble shooting things you can try is this: Run all Windows Updates, install all needed service packs, etc.
Update your graphics driver (Firefox uses your graphics card for some rendering, and an out of date graphics card driver can cause problems. Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL
Update all your plugins (Flash, Java, etc.): http://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/.
Download and Install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware, run a full Scan. http://www.malwarebytes.org/. This helps check that there are no viruses on your computer causing issues. You can uninstall this program after you clean off any infections.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
- Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Very many thanks. The suggestion to "Reset Firefox" did the trick, so the infuriating image is gone and my screen is back to normal
Resetting Firefox is good temporarily. Restarting Firefox in SAFEMODE is good temporarily. Getting rid of the DoNotTrackPlus plug-in/extension is good...and...the permanent fix to this issue.
