All of a sudden there is a section on the left side of my Firefox online screen that has:

           Search:  [?]  [View ]

+ Yesterday + Last 7 days

I don't know how it got there, I've tried disabling plug-ins, personalizing tool bar, etc., and can't get rid of it. If I place my cursor on the line that separates this section from the regular Firefox screen, an arrow appears as if I could drag the right part of the screen to the left and "cover up" this search section, but the drag won't work.

Try uninstalling Firefox and reinstalling it, incase you HAVE already tried the basic method of changing the toolbar settings. This may be some small bug in the browser. Hope i could help! Good Luck!
