My cousin dowloaded a Zynga toolbar, please could you tell me how can I delete this? [thanks]
I'm pretty technologically illiterate, I've tried uninstalling it via the Control Panel and searching for it in downloads to no avail. It does offer options regarding 'enable search history' etc but doesn't present any informations pertaining to the removal of it. Thanks for any help and sorry for asking something that is probably really dumb and easily solved. Thanks :D

The following link shows a step-by-step illustrated guide to un-installing the Zynga toolbar. The second part is mis-labeled (says IE, should be Firefox), to check that it no longer shows in Firefox extensions after un-installing through the Control Panel.

You need to update the following:
- Shockwave Flash 10.2 r153
- Check your plugin versions on either of the following links':
- http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
- https://www-trunk.stage.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/
- Note: plugin check page does not have information on all plugin versions
- There are plugin specific testing links available from this page:
- Update the Flash plugin to the latest version.
- Download and SAVE to your Desktop so you can find the installer later
- If you do not have the current version, click on the "Player Download Center" link on the "Download and information" or "Download Manual installers" below
- After download is complete, exit Firefox
- Click on the installer you just downloaded and install
- Windows 7 and Vista: may need to right-click the installer and choose "Run as Administrator"
- Start Firefox and check your version again or test the installation by going back to the download link below
- Download and information: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
- Use Firefox to go to the above site to update the Firefox plugin (will also install plugin for most other browsers; except IE)
- Use IE to go to the above site to update the IE ActiveX
- Download Manual installers.
