    ourworld toolbar in firefox

    My daughter managed to install this annoying add-on to firefox. I uninstalled it in the firefox tools menu but the logo is still there every time I use firefox. How can I get rid of this?

    Open the terminal and issue this command to run Firefox in safe mode:

    Code:
    /path/to/firefox -safe-mode


    In the window that appears, check on Reset toolbars and controls, then hit Make Changes and Restart.

    thanks but,

    tad@tad-SB61V40:~$ /path/to/firefox/firefox -safe-mode
    bash: /path/to/firefox/firefox: No such file or directory
    tad@tad-SB61V40:~$

    Maybe I've missed a command that you thought was obvious as I am not a terminal user

    By the way, I even uninstalled firefox and then reinstalled it and the ourworld thing was still there
