All of a sudden, instead of a google search bar in my toolbar, there is an ebay bar, which I never use. How do I change this back to google?

Over to the right on my main screen, to the right of where you see the urls, is a search bar that used to be for google, now has been changed to ebay. I have no idea how this happened, but I want to change it back. How do I do that?

You can click the search engine icon and select Google from the drop down list.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
