I use AOL for email etc. Just downloaded the new edition, 9.6. It has taken over my Firefox/Mozilla page. When I upload Firefox/Mozilla it goes to AOL. It blocks out the bar at the top so that I cannot use tools etc.

I cannot get rid of AOL as I cannot get to tools. How can I get rid of AOL from my Firefox/Mozilla account

  • In Firefox 3.6 versions on Windows and Firefox 4 on Windows and Linux it's possible to hide the "Menu Bar" via "View > Toolbars" or via the right-click context menu of a toolbar.
  • Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key down to bring up the "Menu Bar" temporarily.
  • Go to "View > Toolbars" or right-click the "Menu Bar" or press Alt+V T to select which toolbars to show or hide (click on an entry to toggle the state).

The problem is not just the tool bar--it's the whole AOL home page appearing. HOW DO I GET RID OF IT? I even took AOL off the computer and their homepage still appeared when I opened FireFox. I re-added it, hoping that somehow a new version would correct the problem: wrong, of course.

I had this problem and AOL did not show up as a toolbar. I started disabling toolbars until AOL went away. It ended up that a Dlink toolbar had aol hidden in it. I then removed the Dlink toolbar and no more AOL.
