How do I delete a toolbar that was added when I downloaded a program?

I am using Firefox 7.0.1 and Microsoft Windows XP Professional Ver. 2002 Service Pack 3. I would like to delete (get rid of NOT hide only) a toolbar that was downloaded to Firefox when I downloaded a program to print internet coupons. The toolbar is called shopathome.com.
I have read your article about deleting toolbars, but this solution only applies to toolbars that you add for Firefox buttons. I have not found other articles that talk about deleting downloaded toolbars.
I want to delete this toolbar because it is slowing down Firefox since it continuously monitors the sites I visit and it displays offers for coupons or other stuff from this site.
Is there a way to get rid of this toolbar? If not, would reinstalling Firefox fix the problem? Thank you.

I found the answer in the same shopathome.com website. Here is the link with the information to remove the shopathome pesky toolbar

Don't forget to reboot close Firefox and reboot your computer

  • How do I delete a toolbar that was added by a plugin? Plug-in's been uninstalled, but the toolbar is still there and any new tabs open on their search engine (even though I have Tab Mix set to open tabs on a duplicate page). Help?

    Running Firefox on Windows XP3. I installed a plugin from Savevid.com, which they now require. (I've used that site for at least a year with no problem ever.) Everything was fine but it added a toolbar to my browser, and it seems to have reset Firefox somehow so that any new tab opens on "Searchqu", some low-rent search engine. I uninstalled the plug-in altogether, but the toolbar is still there, and I can't make the reset on the search engine go away. I use Tab Mix Plus (also never had this problem before with it), but no matter what I do, the tabs will not open to anything other than searchqu. (Tab Mix has the option to open to a duplicate tab - what it was using BEFORE all this - but changing that no longer has any effect.)
    Anyone know how to deal with a problem like this?

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> 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 or otherwise make changes.

  • I want to remove the yahoo toolbar that was added when I updated Adobe Flash. Neither Yahoo or Firefox provides info that works.

    I want a simple way to remove the Yahoo Tool bar.

    Have you tried un-installing that Yahoo Toolbar extension from Firefox?
    Tools > Add-ons > Extensions <br />
    Locate that extension in the list, and click on it. You should see an '''Uninstall''' button, use it, and then restart Firefox.

  • How can i delete a toolbar that has been added?

    Somehow I have a toolbar for a shop at home site that has been added to my list of toolbars. It takes over my browser when I'm surfing and takes me to places i have not selected. How can i delete this toolbar? I believe I have the latest version of firefox and i am running windows 7

    This sounds like spamware you might have installed by accident. If you go into Add-Ons (Firefox -> Add-Ons) it should be under 'Extensions'. Click the 'Remove' button and that should get rid of it.
    You might also find it under 'Programs and Features' in Control Panel. Remove it if it's there.

  • How do I delete an app that was initiated by a previous owner?

    Just went into the app store to see if there were any apps to be downloaded or updated.
    I found one for updating that was apparently initiated by a previous owner/user. I don't particularly want the app, so is it possible to delete it from the app list?

    That list is your Purchase history. The App is no longer on your Phone. Purchased History cannot be deleted, because it registers your previous purchases so you can download them again if you need to without paying again for them. It tells you and Apple what applications you have purchased (i.e you own ) So you can have access to them for download when you need to.
    The best you can do is hide the purchase.

  • How do I get rid of the new toolbar that was added by versions 20 and 21?

    I have tried both versions 20 and 21 and both have the bugs below so I ended up having to re-install version 19:
    1.) Versions 20 and 21 add a new toolbar that has nothing but a "Firefox" button on it - and no way to get rid of this toolbar is provided. It wastes far too much space on my laptop's screen - that button should have been put on one of the other toolbars or simply made part of the icon set that users can use to customize their menubar or other toolbars.
    2.) That new toolbar is not customizable. Hence, I don't have the option of recovering screen space by moving everything from my menubar onto the new toolbar then hiding the menubar.
    3.) The back, forward, and stop|reload buttons on my menubar no longer work. Moving them back to the navigation toolbar and showing that toolbar does not solve the problem. Nor can I right-click on a web page and select those functions from the context menu: they are permanently disabled there too.
    4.) I can no longer right click on the menubar or a toolbar and get a context menu from which you I can pick a "customize" option - I can't get a context menu AT ALL. In order to customize things for versions 20 or 21, I first have to reinstall version 19, do the customizations, then reinstall version 20 or 21.

  • How do i delete debug menu that pops up when i hit the power button

    How do I delete debug popup when i press the power button?

    Hi ann_ring,
    You should look at the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved]. That should give you what you need. Firefox probably can't save the setting saying that you've already seen that box.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • How do I reconnect RealPlayer since it was lost when I downloaded firefox

    When I downloaded Firefox some time ago, I seem to have lost RealPlayer. All of my songs were on RealPlayer and although I can bring it up on the screen it tells me that each clip has been lost. I need to know how to get RealPlayer back since all of my songs, lessons etc are on there.

    Check that the Bookmarks Toolbar is visible and that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is still placed on the Bookmarks Toolbar.
    If the menu bar is hidden then press F10 or hold down the Alt key, that should make the "Menu Bar" appear.
    Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
    * Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout" (Linux, Windows)
    * Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
    * If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
    * If you do not see the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" or other items that are missing in the toolbar palette or on a toolbar then click the "Restore Default Set" button
