An icon is on my top panel and it cant be deleted

Asked by dustbindiva

It's the globe icon but not the Firefox browser globe icon. I cannot get it off the panel and I cannot change the panel by right clicking on it. The globe icon is a web page that I looked at but I did not bookmark it. I dont know why it is on my panel.. Any ideas?

Do you get a text box if you hover the cursor over itit. Can you please give a screens hot to highlight the issue (or just the portion of the screen). You can use imageshack or similar to make a URL out of the image.

Thanks

It shows me the web page white text on black that I was looking at but I do not have it bookmarked anylonger.

This is the web page that shows up when I click on the globe. I cannot do a screenshot.

Have you tried right clicking the icon while pressing the alt key?

Yes, but it is the same as clicking without the ALT, the web page just opens up. If I right click it says Launch or Properties and under Properties it reads:

Did you try the RIGHT click with alt? This should not immediately open the page but show a pop-up.

I solved the problem of the irascible icon on the top panel. I deleted the information in the dialog box shown above here, and closed the browser. This morning when I booted up it was gone.
