Angry What the hell have I done now?

Some weird bar appeared across the bottom of my screen on Firefox, dark grey, above the toolbar, with weird symbols in it.

On attempting to get rid of it, I have somehow hidden the main Google search box from the centre of my homepage, then hidden the bar itself, so I now can't get the Google box back.
What did I do, and how can I UNDO it please?
Firefox, Windows 7.

You only need to go back a couple of days mate.

Click on start.
Select control panel.
Select system security.
The first option will be Action centre....click 'Restore your computer to an earlier time'.
Open system restore.
A box will open, click next.
It usually recommends a restore date then. Click next and then finish

Just uninstall firefox, make sure you backup any existing data from it.

And reinstall it.

Saves you restoring your whole system mate
