How to Remove the Copernic Search Toolbar in Firefox

Copernic Desktop Search is a Windows program that includes a desktop search toolbar for Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer. Certain older versions of this toolbar can cause serious performance problems in Firefox. The Firefox toolbar isn't installed like a normal Firefox extension, so you can't remove it from the normal Firefox add-ons window. To remove the toolbar, you have to disable it from Copernic's configuration window.

Instructions

1. Close Mozilla Firefox if it's open.

2. Double-click the Copernic Desktop Search icon in the system tray at the bottom-right corner of your screen.

3. Click the "Options" button on the toolbar at the top of the Copernic Desktop Search main window.

4. Click the "Integration" tab at the top of the options window that appears.

5. Click the check box to the left of the "Install Firefox Toolbar" option under "Browser Desktop Search Toolbars on the integration pane.

6. Click "OK."
