Blocking toolbars that are on Web sites?
Issue
I have another kind of problem with Firefox
Description
Several of the Web sites I visit now have ANNOYING toolbars on the bottom of their sites. Some of them don't allow pages to load fully (always trying to laod info from facebook or digg etc). A few toolbars you can collapse, but they are still distracting and cover the text of the web page.
Is there any way to block these toolbars from loading or showing?

Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs. You need to use all programs because each detects different malware. Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database.

It isn't malware? It's a toolbar that people put on their own sites. These for example: MiceChat.com TwitterMoma=s
added a screen shot you can see the toolbar at the bottom - the popped up part called "choose your connection" is part of the toolbar.
Ok, my entire message was erased because my attached file was too big.
A quick recap, it isn't malware. it is a toolbar that people place on their sites. go to micechat.com/forums or twittermoms.com and you can see what I mean
install firefox add-on adblockplus https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fire.../1865/ add a filter subscription like easylist if you want it to block adds.once installed right click on adblockplus icon and click preferences then click add filter in the bottom left hand corner. add: ||cdn.wibiya.com^ then click apply,you will have no toolbar at the bottom now.
