How to remove additional icons on firefox toolbar

  • 772

I have a strange problem. I installed flash and video download add-on for my firefox browser and I see a bunch of icons in my navigation toolbar. I am not able to remove those bunch of icons by customize option. I disabled the add-on and finally uninstalled it completely, but still I have the bunch of icons placed in my navigation bar. I have a screenshot of it as below. Screenshot

Any suggestions on how to get it removed is appreciated.

I have Ubuntu 11.10 and Firefox 7.0.1

11.10

  2. You can try deleting your default profile for Firefox. Do make sure you backup your bookmarks (Bookmarks/Show All Bookmarks/Import and Backup/Backup...), and make a list of any extensions you want to reinstall. Close Firefox, go to your home folder and press CTRL + H to see the hidden files. Then navigate to .mozilla/firefox/XXXXXXXX.default. Make a backup copy of it if you like, then delete it and restart Firefox.
