An unwanted toolbar showed up in Firefox. How do I get rid of it?
I was looking for restaurant menu and this shop at home.com toolbar installs itself. How do I get rid of it? I hid it by clicking on view ---> toolbars ----> unchecking shop at home, but I want to permanently delete it.

Usually a toolbar is generated by an extension. Try disabling or removing ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
- Ctrl+Shift+a
- 3-bar menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Can you track it down?
If the Remove button is missing, typically this means the extension was installed externally, and in most cases, there is a way to remove it from the Windows Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs. Clicking the "Installed on" column heading to group by date is useful to see items that arrived, perhaps unannounced, as part of a bundle.
Thanks guys. I was able to successfully uninstall the toolbar.
