After browsing a commercial site www.kohls.com I suddenly got some "launch icons" in my bottom bar towards the right side. They automatically go to pages on Kohl's website. I cannot get rid of them - tried everything, including even uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox. This has never happened on other websites. Could Kohl's website be installing malware? In any case, how do I get rid of them, short of a complete Ubuntu reinstall? I am using Ubuntu 12.04, correctly updated, but with Gnome GUI instead of "unity" which I do not like at all.

These are shortcuts on the gnome panel and should be able to be removed.

Right click the bottom panel and select edit panel. Remove the shortcuts from the panel and save/exit.

Not sure why Kohls website would add these. That's a mystery to me.

Right click on the launcher and 'Remove from Panel'

You may need to press Alt or first.
