Most Firefox toolbars are added by extensions. To review and disable extensions, try this tab:

orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category

Sometimes, the names of extensions are not very revealing about what they do. I suggest, if in doubt about whether you really need an extension, disable it.

Does that help?

If it's not a separate toolbar but a search engine in Firefox's built-in search bar -- this sometimes can be tricky to distinguish -- there will be an entry at the bottom of the list to Manage search engines.

If you are able to remove it for the duration of your session but it comes back after you restart Firefox, it could be in an unusual location, or an external process may be re-inserting it...
