I reloaded Firefox and it came back with the google search bar in the navigation tool bar.
When I opened it this morning, the search bar was gone and a new search bar showed up on the tab line called Zensearch. I reloaded Firefox last night for this very same problem, and it just came back!
Why is this happening? What can I do to stop it? The navigation bar only has the address section, it doesn't even show the ikon for "home".

Did you put Zensearch on your computer? Is there an add-on or plugin
for it? Firefox > Add-ons > add-on or plugin.
Windows > Start > Control Panel > Programs. See if it is listed.
Download the Mozilla Search Reset.
