    Toolbars may be made inactive by this way ...

    Click on the orange firefox button , and expand options . All the active toolbars are checked there. Uncheck those which you dont want to use .

    These things usually come with some programs downloaded from external sources. While installing those programs, it is to be a bit more careful before accepting a page, that what I am actually accepting . You can easily avoid all those unwanted things.
    Yeah but it only hides the toolbar. It better be removed.

    Just a wishful thinking ... as ask is a msi based installation, it should left the uninstaller in the C:\Windows\installer folder , in a subfolder thereto. If possible, it may be manually searched in that location and run the uninstaller ?

    No problem with that Archi. Just thought i'd point out that. Many such toolbars sometimes even monitor user's browsing so it better be removed.
    @OP
    Did you delete the toolbar's install folder as Arc said? If no try running the uninstaller file if its there.
    Also in the run box (Win key+R), type firefox -safe-mode
    you'll get a window that firefox is running in safe mode.
    Open the Add-ons window>extention and see if there's a uninstall button listed for the toolbar.
    EDIT: Ask representative here. . Nice. .

    I am uncertain which direction to take next. Normally one follows the directions where you have asked the question. The Ask rep has invited me to go to his site for info on removal. Which way next?

    Gooday all. I tried the Firefox safe-mode thing. It didn't look as if it was starting in safe mode. Is this command correct? firefox -safe-mode.

    Well the command correct but may be the way of execution isn't.
    Create a shortcut to firefox and right click it>properties
    in the target box at the very end add that switch ...firefox.exe" -safe-mode
    notice the space after the double quote and the hyphen.
    What about the other manual methods of deleting the extention folder? Did you try that?
    And those ask guys are asking to come to their site and have them troubleshoot instead of simply giving the uninstallation steps? That is umm.... strange.
