How do I get rid of Ghostery - or should I? Is it a Firefox thing? [View all]

So long as it was just an icon on the toolbar, it was ignorable. But now it started popping up a "Trackers" window, plus leaving a number in a circle on top of my current window.

I can't find it in the list of programs (to be uninstalled) or in the Apps. At least, how do I get rid of the number-in-the-purple-circle on top of my Window?!1
