my search bar doesnt look like it used to... Please help
I have an annoying problem with my search bar. I have uninstalled firefox and reinstalled the 30.0 update and its still happening. I have a space that is separating the back arrow and the http://. I would like this gone as soon as possible. If you can help that would be great. Thank you.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
- Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
- Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

There are other things that need your attention.
Your System Details list shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize prefs each time Firefox starts.
The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created this file and normally it wouldn't be there. You can check its content with a plain text editor (right-click: Open with) if you didn't create this file yourself.
The user.js file is read each time Firefox is started and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
- Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
I instead restored my computer to an earlier date when i didnt have this problem. But thanks for your help anyways.
For the record your rather anonymous Website Logon Plugin seems to be related to TrueSuite Website Log On which has caused some problems lately.
If you have further problems it may be worth your while to check for further information in the Search box above or Google.
