How does FIREFOX-TOOLBAR looks like,and where on my page will I see it? I have a lot of toolbars on my page, like, the ZYNGA-toolbar,facemoods, ect..... Before I downloaded the "new version of firefox 4, I had the version 3.16, and had NO trouble at all!

I would imagine it's the MyWay Searchbar which is classified by most anti-malware scanners as adware, or even worse as spyware. I say that because I see "SmileyCentral" in your list of plugins and that's an add-on for that particular toolbar. You can disable that via Tools | Add-ons | Plugins.

There are a number of toolbars which won't work with Firefox 4 anymore due to the enhanced protection mechanisms in the browser.

Mozilla recommends that you only install add-ons from its own security site @ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/?browse=featured Generally speaking, those have all been tested and approved. The exceptions are those currently under review which are marked with a yellow banner to warn users that they haven't passed Mozilla's labs yet.
