when I open Firefox and Google appears I have black task bars with nothing in them how do I get rid of them? I have restarted Firebox and Google but the same black bars appear?

Toolbars like the "ZoneAlarm Spy Blocker Plugin Stub for 32-bit Windows" and other toolbars like "Ask.com" or "My Web Search" can cause this issue.
You can see the toolbars in View > Toolbars.
