Flash Updater - unwanted desktop icon

Sep 8, 2012 5:14 AM

Tags: #flash_player

I updated my Flash via Adobe's updater and have a new icon in the upper left corner of my Mac desktop. It belongs to Firefox 14.0.1 which means that it goes away when I quit Firefox, but it remains at the forefront of my desktop at all times when Firefox is up.

 

I can't access, move, or get info about the icon. It has two mouse-over actions but nothing happens when I click.

I am operating Mac OSX 10.6.8.

 

I posted a query on the Mozilla forum but no one has responded.

 

Here is a link to a screen capture of the icon:

Thanks,

Dale H

    Hi Dale,

    I haven't seen this icon before.  Do you have any password utilities installed (like 1password)?

    Chris, Hi!

     

    Yes I have 1Password.

    The icon went away after I let Foxfire run a security update.

    But there was something familiar about the icon and it could have something to do with 1Password.

    I'll contact them and see if they have any light to shed on the issue.

     

    Thanks very much!

    Dale

    Good to hear.  I suspect 1Password as it looked like icon's that I've seen them install before
