There is a dark gray "bar" displayed above the tabs in FF with what looks like a Lego with a "v" in the middle of it.

What is it? How do I either get rid of it or make use of it -- if it has any use?

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== After starting FF in safe mode

This issue can be caused by a plugin or an extension that is not compatible with Firefox 3.6 and isn't working properly anymore.

A toolbar like the "ZoneAlarm Spy Blocker Plugin Stub for 32-bit Windows" and other toolbars like "Ask.com" or "My Web Search" can cause this issue.
