how do I uninstall the mapsgalaxy toolbar from firefox?
My O S is windows 7. I just want to uninstall mapsgalaxy tool bar from my computer. Don't trust any other so called insecure programs to accomplish this unless Mozilla support recommends it. Could you help me?

Extensions that do not have a "Remove" button are installed by other software and are not under control of the Firefox extension manager. Such globally installed extensions are usually found via a registry scan or are installed in a location that Firefox scans for installed extensions.

Extensions installed this way need to be removed via the settings (options/preferences) of the program that has added this extension or this program has to be uninstalled via "Control Panel > Programs". In Firefox you an only disable such an extension.
You can check in "Windows Control Panel > Programs" for recently installed programs to see if anything from Conduit or any other suspicious software like Search Protect shows up.
- Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features > Uninstall or change a program
- Click the Installed column to sort by this heading
You may need to do a lot more than simply removing that "toolbar". You need to get rid of whatever carried that "toolbar" onto your PC to begin with, otherwise that "toolbar" may reappear or that "whatever" might cause other problems. http://malwaretips.com/blogs/mapsgalaxy-toolbar-removal/
