How do I get rid of the blue "downloading the latest applications" bar which won't go away even after uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox?
Can't get rid of the blue "downloading the latest applications" bar that seems to be just hanging and won't go away. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, but the bar is still there after 2 days. I updated something (can't remember what!) on I.E., and it had the same blue bar, but it had a box I could x out of so it went away on I.E. I don't know why the blue bar is there on Firefox, as I did the update while on I.E.
This happened
Every time Firefox opened
== I updated an application while on Internet Explorer.

Annette,
- In the menu bar, at the top of the Firefox window, Go to Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions.
- Locate each of the following extensions by name and click the disable button
- Restart Firefox as prompted and see if the undesired toolbar has been removed.
- The extensions to disable are: Crawler Toolbar, MP3 Rocket Toolbar, MSN Toolbar, Search Helper Extension
If you don't need some / all of those toolbars, consider leaving them disabled.
You can probably remove these toolbars permanently from Start -> Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs.
