I am presuming the standard McAfee app is still working as usual although it is not on view any more. I have never used the McAfee icon in this toolbar. I have a feeling it may be linked in some way to their search engine but I really do not want to explore that scenario.
I also read on the Firefox update post that a McAfee app had been removed because it was causing conflicts with Firefox - I wonder if this may be linked in some way.
Generally, if I include an 'add-on' to my system, will I expect to have this bar as part of each add-on because surely there must be a way of removing the bar but not having to delist the add-on.
Thanks again for your help.
A little later - I need to edit/update this thread because I delisted McAfee in Tools Add-on Plug-In not Extensions so I have amended that and gone to Tools Add-on &gt; Extensions to find the McAfee ext' has already been delisted due to Security or Stability issues. I am sure this has nothing to do with my problem but lets hope so! Sorry for the mis-information and the long-winded post. Ooops! I will let you know if the 'bar comes back. Thanks again

Right-click the Add-on Bar and choose Customize to give it a try.

I assume it is being opened/placed there by McAffee as that is the ony thing on there. As I use multiple windows as tabs or new windows and each window has this bar at the bottom and I am forever closing it. Annoying.
Iwill try the disable facility.
Many thanks again.
</p>Do you mean Firefox's thin Add-on Bar at the bottom, or a particular toolbar added by an Add-on at t2011-06-22T07:57:46-07:00jscher2000https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/838402#answer-203200<p>Do you mean Firefox's thin Add-on Bar at the bottom, or a particular toolbar added by an Add-on at the top?
</p><p>I don't think you can completely banish Firefox's Add-on Bar, but you can hide it from view. Just use the little x to close it.
</p><p>For toolbars added by add-ons, usually you can disable or remove them here:
</p><p>orange Firefox button <em>or</em> Tools menu &gt; Add-ons
</p><p>On the left side, click Extensions.
