That isn't a default feature in Firefox, it was added by an extension. Do you have the Google Toolbar extension installed? Is it enabled?

Ah right - many thanks ...

Cant see the Google toolbar extension anywhere on FFv4

Cant see it on the 'extensions page either ?

Do you have a link for it at all.

Thanks
