Uninstalling the evil google toolbar from default Linux

Uninstalling the evil google toolbar from default Linux seems to be impossible in that, every time I uninstall it,
it just is still there on the next firefox start, I'm guessing its probably caused by the fact that the toolbars files have root permissions only, though.. :|

I'm not sure where to locate em for deleting though.
So if anybody might have a clue, it be much appreciated.

 

Which one do you mean, the one on the desktop, or the one in Firefox?

 

well, if you had read my post well, you would have noticed me saying the toolbar is still there on the next firefox start,
so, obviously in firefox...

anyways, theres no google toolbar on the desktop, there is though a desktop search there.

this is the link for ff3 version, I'm using the default 2 though.

as for uninstalling the toolbar, I've yet to try running firefox in r00t to uninstall it. so thats the next thing I'll do.

 

Just remove it like any other item on the toolbar. Right click on toolbar > adjust > pull it away

 

Just to be sure, I want to uninstall(/get rid off from my hdd) this:

'nyways, running firefox trough sudo was of no help,
I'm probably going to switch to oSuse anyway's though... :/

 

The following worked for me:

Code:

    
    cd /usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.14
    sudo mv './extensions/{3112ca9c-de6d-4884-a869-9855de68056c}' '../{3112ca9c-de6d-4884-a869-9855de68056c}-extensions-HIDE' 
    cd /home/user
    rm -rf .mozilla

Then run firefox.

Note that the above will delete all your firefox bookmarks, history, etc, so save them beforehand if you want to keep them.

 

thanks for the warning about bookmarks, did find the [numbers-string-here] deletion info @google's site, hadn't yet tried though.
