Hi everybody, since I sent to a friend one link via whatsapp, the whatsapp icon appears in the firefox menu, see image attached. It' s not listed as an addon and whatsapp does not show anything about it. Browsing the web I learnt that firefox lists in the menu the last 3 applications used to send a link. I tried checking about:config but haven't found anything regarding this feature, did I miss it? Anyone knows how to remove this line in the menu? Thanks and have a nice day Lucas

Whatsapp is the last app you used to share a link with someone. If you want to change it to something else, you need to share a link with another app you have, or if you want to remove any app icon from the menu, just uninstall and install the app again on your device.

Thanks matinnabi for your reply. I was aware that by uninstalling and installing the app again this issue was going to be solved. That' s a draconian method, though. I need to keep my settings, bookmarks, etc and I was hoping for Firefox have an alternative solution. Maybe in the next future?-)
