I have something called"starter helper extension 1.0". I had a toolbar that wasn't doing anything and I disabled this and it went away. What is it?

Possibly something you consented to install with some free program. Or a virus.

Google doesn't pick the name up, are you sure you didn't make a typo? If you're really interested, you could try to find the add-on's files in your profile (see Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data, then "extensions" folder, then the folder with install.rdf file inside containing the name you see in the add-ons window) and check its source or post it somewhere and try to get someone to look at it.

Could that have been the Java Quick Start 1.0 extension?
