You installed it when you installed a 'free' app. Most of this junk comes bundled with other supposedly 'free' software which if you're not observant, will install other junk as well.

To remove it, click the Firefox button, go to Add-ons, then Extensions and remove these:

  • Jookz Toolbar

  • Mp3tube Toolbar

I know how it probably got there - but no one has said how to get rid of it.

Yay, ok I found the easy fix! The easiest way to remove the mp3tube toolbar from Firefox is to type about:config into the address bar at the top of the browser. It will take you to a blank page that has a warning( I have enclosed an image) click through that and right click and remove anything that has mp3tube in it. Bada Bing no more mp3tube nightmare. :)

ahhh another know-it-all who knows sh*t. As I have found it was my 10yr old daughter who inadvertantly installed this toolbar, through fairly innoculas means. As for your suggestion and comments Xircal, they are neither helpful nor warranted. Firstly removing it from add-ons is the most fkng obvious thing one would do. So is that all you can suggest?...given your 300 odd suggestion you have left one might think you know something...well you dont. PEOPLE...see "myphysicsdiary" below for a real suggestion from someone who knows what they are talking about. As for you Xircal...quality not quantity; so ease up on the quick draw replies aye. good boy.
