Remove Duplicate Search Boxes In Firefox Browser

Firefox along with Google Toolbar provides a great web surfing experience. Undoubtedly this combination is one of the best for software for web surfing.

But if you observer the Firefox browser window, you find the Google search boxes duplicated. One search box is available next to the URL bar and another search box in the Google toolbar.

Firefox Duplicate Search Boxes

If you don't like the duplication of search boxes, you can easily remove one among them. As it is more comfortable to use the search box available in the Google tool bar, I suggest you to remove the top right side search. But it's always your choice to remove the one which you don't like.
