How do I delete a toolbar that was added when I downloaded a program?

I am using Firefox 7.0.1 and Microsoft Windows XP Professional Ver. 2002 Service Pack 3. I would like to delete (get rid of NOT hide only) a toolbar that was downloaded to Firefox when I downloaded a program to print internet coupons. The toolbar is called shopathome.com. I have read your article about deleting toolbars, but this solution only applies to toolbars that you add for Firefox buttons. I have not found other articles that talk about deleting downloaded toolbars. I want to delete this toolbar because it is slowing down Firefox since it continuously monitors the sites I visit and it displays offers for coupons or other stuff from this site. Is there a way to get rid of this toolbar? If not, would reinstalling Firefox fix the problem? Thank you.

Thanks for your reply e-dmeister. I tried to follow the instructions from ShopAtHome.com to uninstall the toolbar, but neither the "SelectRebates" or "ShopAtHome.com Toolbar" program is listed under the existing programs. Any other suggestion?
