How to get rid of square tab named "firefox view" to "sync with other devices"?? This appeared after a firefox update a few days ago and purports to sync firefox with my "other devices" Right now it shows "33% completed". I do not have any other devices .... just my computer. This extra tab takes up room on the page and I just want to get rid of it but there is no apparent way to close it. I view this as an unwelcome intrusion on my Firefox browser --- How do I get rid of it?

You can just simply right click on it, and select Remove from Toolbar. If you want to add it again for any reason, you can just right click on the toolbar, select Customise Toolbar… and drag it to the toolbar.
