remove unwanted menu bar
I clicked on a free Galaxy map offer and a new menu bar appeared. I don't want my screen cluttered up with a menu bar that has been imposed on me.

hello, this sounds like a problem possibly caused by adware on your pc.
- please go to the firefox menu ≡ > addons > extensions & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc).
- also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there.
- finally, run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the free version of malwarebytes & adwcleaner, which are specialised in adware and browser hijackers.

The first paragraph "#please go to the firefox menu ≡ > addons > extensions & remove ..." seems to have solved the problem. The second para: I could not find any suspicious software. Third para: I will run malwarebytes. Thanks George
