I ran a scan on my computer with a program called "Malwarebytes" and got rid of the "infected" items. When I opened firefox, this was here. When I click it nothing happens. What is is/How can I get rid of it?

Do you see that bar here: View > Toolbars ?

You have to right click on the persona (above the address bar) and you should see menu bar, Navigation toolbar, my web search. Uncheck "My Web Search" and the gray bar should go away at least it did for me.

thank you, but what I did was reinstall Firefox all together, and that worked.
