Eliminating "Z" in the upper left part of the screen...?

poirmw

How do I eliminate the Zotero symbol "Z" in the upper left part of my screen? It has recently appeared there and is causing all sorts of problems. For instance, when I attempt to send e-mail, my Zotero database jumps into view, for no good reason that I can see. I also have a letter "Z" in the lower right side of the screen in the Add-on bar. This one I want to keep.

I am running Firefox 22. Could that be the problem?

Do you use any keyboard shortcut ?

I've tried your suggestion, but it does not seem to work. I am not sure if we are speaking of the same little "Z" on the upper left. Mind you, there is only one letter "Z" in that region of the screen. It is a white letter "Z" in a red circle. It was not there in the past, but it made an appearance about a week or so ago.

I have no keyboard shortcut that I am aware of. As I said, when I press "Send" in my e-mail server, ("Send" is likely superimposed on this little "Z", because I load Firefox first and then I move to my e-mail server) the Zotero database jumps into view, and it seems to be attributable to the present of this new "Z" under the e-mail screen. My e-mail gets sent, but then I am faced with having to exit Zotero, which I did not call up in the first place.

Could my version of Firefox be the cause? Or, is the latest version of Zotero the cause? I really do not need this "Z" in the upper left of the screen. I already have a letter "Z" on the lower right of the screen in the Add-on bar.

Thank you for your help.

Probably not ;-)
Can you post a screenshot and provide the link here? http://imgur.com

My OS is Windows XP

Can I send a screen shot to another location? I cannot get the location you mention above to work for me.

I've uploaded a screen shot to IMAGRSHACK. How will you find it? Do I need to give you more information? I called the file ZoteroUpperLeft.jpg. Enlarge it and look at the upper left just below the menu bar on Firefox

You need to provide the URL.

Uploading stuff to sites like this one is not my forté. Believe it or not, but I don't know how to do this. I may not even have been able to upload the initial screen shot, which I thought I uploaded, since when I look for it, I cannot find it. I'll try again and let you know if I am successful.

I think that this may be the URL that you are looking for:

If it is, then look to the upper left, just below the tool bar. It's that symbol that is causing the problem.

You're currently loading zotero as an "App tab": http://www.zotero.org/support/preferences/general#user_interface

Thank you. I don't know how that happened because I rarely make changes to my "preferences," and I know that I did not make any changes in that area recently. Hmmm? In any case, thank you very much. This is really a very helpful list.

You might have right-clicked on the Zotero tab and selected "pin tab" from the menu ?
