Firefox saves your configuation settings, bookmarks and plugins in a separate folder, so that if you need to reinstall it, you don't have to go through everything from scratch. If you had previously installed the HotFix toolbar, it would still be there when you reinstalled Firefox. Did you not use the Email Notifier plug in I found for you, which was similar to HotFix, but without any spyware, and was developed for Firefox? Or is that what you are referring to when you said it came back?
Also, you really should download Firefox from the Firefox site (click link in my sig), as you risk incorporating spyware by downloading from other sites, and further, may not be getting the latest version.
Sorry, I'm bullying again! :mmm: 
You're not being a bully Simon, you're answering my questions, thankyou.
I use those other sites to see what's new and available, and one of them is all freeware, saves hunting around for them. :wink:
I've never had any problems with anything I have downloaded.
I deleted Hotfix before I reinstalled FF. The email notifier part of it was no longer working with IE, so it was pointless having it. That's when I decided to reinstall FF with the thought of adding the Email Notifier that you had found for me, but when it came up with the Hotfix Toolbar :argh:
So if you could tell me how to get rid of the Hotfix Toolbar from FF.
And is it any point to reinstalling FF from it's own site, won't I still get the Hotfix Toolbar with it?
