It took me a bit to notice, but all of a sudden there's a 'Facebook Messenger' window attached to Firefox. I didn't ask for it (so far as I can recall) - it appears to have appeared in the latest Firefox update. I will say, this is something I do not want (and think of the privacy implications). There's no obvious way to get rid of it - it doesn't appear in the extensions or plug-ins lists. I eventually found out how to disable it in the Mozilla help pages. You have to locate the 'Facebook' button on your toolbar (it's a little tiny 'F' at the far right) and 'remove Facebook Messenger'. Though, personally, I'm not so sure it's gone.... See also this item on WebMonkey. (It's interesting to contemplate this strategy while watching the Leary video (above)).
