Every time I open Firefox to my Google home page, StartNow is also in the tool bar. How do I stop this?

I might also say that Search| Firefox Help is also there and is redundant when "help" is also in the tool bar above.

Launch Firefox, browse to the one page you want as your homepage, then open Options > General and click the "Use Current Pages" button.

I would get rid of that extra toolbar. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_toolbars

I don't want to get rid of a tool bar per se. It's the fact that every time I open Firefox to my Google home page, I get a line-up of three pages: Google, Search|Firefox Help and Start Here under the tool bar that shows File------Help. This doesn't happen with IE. Then when I try to close, I always get the question of whether I want to close three tabs. It's just a nuisance.
