- You can always hide your toolbar(s) by right clicking (ctrl clicking for Macs) in the area to the right of the toolbar; if you want to install multiple toolbars just choose which to show or hide at any time
- You can make changes to the toolbar components by choosing "Toolbar Options" in the dropdown menu to the right of our library logo
- Toolbar content is updated automatically for you - no need to keep reinstalling
- If you decide you no longer want the toolbar you can uninstall it either using the uninstaller or by removing it as you would any other extension (under Tools -> Add-Ons in Firefox)
