After booting up this morning Firefox version 20.0.1 was now upgraded onto my Windows 7 desktop. The new "Updated Search" box on the toolbar next to the tabs is an annoyance and redundant. How do I remove this Search box?

I mostly look by "Applications" to remove things like that.

Luckily, I came here trying to decide IF I should install this addon. So I decided NOT to.

Funny thing is I think this request to install came from a CNET download. I used to think CNET was safe.
