Hi Matt, I'm not really clear on what happened to your Firefox. You have an unwanted toolbar in Firefox?

Usually a new toolbar is created and maintained by an extension (a kind of add-on). Please visit the Add-ons page and review the extensions. Either:

  • Ctrl+Shift+a
  • orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons

In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if you do not recognize an extension click Disable, and if you want it gone, click Remove. If in doubt, disable.

If the Remove button is missing, then usually the extension was added by an installer that runs outside Firefox. More on that below.

Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.

For system-installed extensions, try the Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a Program. Click the "Installed On" column heading to sort by installation date so you can see what was recently added. You may find some unexpected tag-alongs that can be removed without losing the programs you actually want.

Can you get rid of the toolbar?

If I misunderstood your problem, please describe it in more detail.
