CodeStuff didn't do this and Mozilla didn't do this, this is a new feature of Windows 7. Virtually ANY program you have used in the recent past may have its icon placed into that Start Menu.

Right click the icon on whatever it is you don't want there and choose Unpin from Start Menu or Remove from this List.

If you don't want this feature it is easily turned off. Right Click anywhere in the Start Menu and choose Properties. When Properties opens go to the Start Menu button and remove the check marks from the boxes which say; Store and Display Recently Opened Programs in the Start Menu and Store and Display Recently Opened Programs in the Start Menu and In the Taskbar
