Getting Rid Of Unwanted Toolbars From Your Firefox Browser

Your Firefox toolbar menu might now be cluttered with many unnecessary toolbars and add-ons. Moreover, you might not remember installing some of these browser toolbars. This is because these days, it has become a common practise among software developers to bundle their software applications with some browser toolbar applications for their online websites and services.

This is actually a clever strategy of promoting their or their clients’ less popular websites by bundling a toolbar application for it with a very popular software application. If you were not very careful when installing these software applications, these unwanted toolbars would also be installed along with the application.

How to remove toolbar add-ons from your Firefox browser

Such toolbars can be very easily removed from your Firefox browser. Often, an adware browser toolbar would change the homepage settings and the default search bar in your browser. The attempts you make to change these settings back to default might not work, as the adware toolbar would keep on changing it every time you restart the browser. It is best to remove toolbar add-ons in such cases.

Here is how to remove all the unwanted browser toolbars from your Firefox browser. The Firefox browser has an Add-ons Manager wizard in it that can be used for disabling, enabling, updating or removing the different toolbars, add-ons and extensions in your browser.

To access this Add-ons Manager, go to Tools in the Firefox menu and click on the Add-ons option. This would launch the Add-ons Manager. There, select the Extensions option from the left side navigation menu. This would display the add-ons and extensions installed in the browser.

Here, from the list of add-ons select the browser toolbar that you want to remove. This would display the options Update, Disable, Remove, Options, etc for that add-on. Click on the Disable button, if you only want to temporarily remove the toolbar from the browser menu. You can enable it later following the same steps.

Click on the Remove button for the add-on if you want to permanently uninstall it from the browser. You would be asked to restart the Firefox browser for completing the un-installation. Once this is done, you can make the necessary changes to the browser homepage and the search bar settings.

Of course, some of the adware toolbars might be difficult to get rid of and you might need to use a toolbar remover tool in such cases.

Microsoft Justifies The Installation Regulations On Office 2013 Suite

As the years go on, Microsoft seems to be clinging on to its one-install per computer rule for its new MS Office suite updates. According to a recent blog post published in Microsoft help forum, the software giant asserted that the latest single-copy Office 2013 is tied to the PC on which the software is preinstalled. Microsoft claimed that its stricter regulations on the installation of Office suite are not new. Such regulations were in existence since Office 2010. Below is the full description of the terms and conditions of installing Office 2013 as provided in the Microsoft blog.

Multi-Computer installation of Office suite only applicable for Office 2010

According to the recent blog post from Microsoft, Office 2010 is the only productivity suite that allows users to install it on multiple computers (up to three devices). All Office suites that were released after Office 2010 allowed users to install the same on a single computer. For instance, even if you have the license and the product key for the preinstalled version of an Office 2013 suite, you can’t install it on any other computing devices. If you have multiple computers at home, say a desktop, laptop and a notebook and you want to use a decent Office suite on all these devices, then the best option before you is to get Office 2010. The boxed version of Office 2010 lets you install Office suite on up to three computing devices without any technical glitches.

One install per computer rule and the reinstallation of Office suite

Meanwhile, many users who got Office 2013 preinstalled on their computing devices expressed concerns about whether it is possible to reinstall the application suite after the replacement of the hard disk. Microsoft has not yet given any clear answer to this concern. On an average scale, most users come across a computer failure at least once in a year. The issues they would have to address include removing viruses, replacing hardware components in the machine or even the replacement of the hard disk. According to the reviews found in the Microsoft help forum, users were able to reinstall their Office 2013 after a serious system failure.

It is quite reasonable that Microsoft is tightening its policies on the installation of some of its popular products like Office suite because there has been a clear rise of piracy of Microsoft products. Nevertheless, the software giant needs to be more people friendly while implementing its new terms and regulations.
