Cannot remove Google Toolbar. Ubuntu 7.10/Firefox 2.0.0.17

[LSmith86B]

Binary package hint: firefox

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.17) Gecko/20080922 Ubuntu/7.10 (gutsy) Firefox/2.0.0.17

gOS Ubuntu. Google toolbar keeps reinstalling itself. Removed it from add-ons. System reports that Google toolbar add-on will be removed the next time FireFox is restarted, but it does not unstall. After reopening FireFox the toolbar reinstalls itself. Any ideas...???

Thanks

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and trying to help make Ubuntu better. However, it seems that you are not using a software package provided by the official Ubuntu repositories. Because of this the Ubuntu project can not support or fix your particular bug. Please report this bug to the provider of the software package. Thanks! To workaround the problem, try to use a new firefox profile:

Start Firefox by entering the following command is a terminal: firefox -ProfileManager. You should now see the Profile Manager window.

Important note: From the Profile Manager you are also able to remove and rename profiles. Be very careful when deleting profiles, if you created the profile in a directory that already existed, the entire directory will be removed!

Click on the 'Create Profile...' button to start the 'Create Profile Wizard'. Click 'Next' and enter a descriptive name for the new profile. Click Finish to have Firefox create the new profile. You should now be taken back to the Profile Manager and the newly created profile should be listed. Select it and click 'Start Firefox'. Try to reproduce the bug with this new profile.

Note: you can go back to your own profile by starting Firefox using the command firefox -ProfileManager again, selecting your own profile, and clicking on 'Start Firefox'.
