I had uninstalled megaupload toolbar long time ago. But it's somehow there.. Then I downloaded and installed the latest version of it and uninstall again but nothing changed. How can i get rid of this situation? I don't want to uninstall and lose my history,bookmarks and extensions. Please help.

Chosen solution

The megaupload toolbar changed your useragent. To change it back so that it shows 3.6.7, type about:config into the location bar. You will get a warning message, accept the warning. This will bring up a list of settings, in the filter box type useragent, this will bring up a small number of settings. Right-click on each of them and choose Reset. (Reset is only available for any setting that has been modified). This should solve your problem.
