there is a blank black space between my toolbars that extends from one side of the screen to the other. It has a white 'leggo' looking shape in the middle of the bar but the rest is blank. I click on it and nothing happens. I want it removed as it's annoying and taking away space from my screen working area. It showed up when I installed Mozilla Firefox.

Issues with a black (empty) toolbar can be caused by a plugin or an extension that is not compatible with Firefox 3.6 and isn't working properly anymore.
See:

A toolbar 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.
