Uninstalling Firefox Google Toolbar

I just had a nightmare time trying to uninstall the Google toolbar for Firefox.

It kept reinstalling itself every time I unstalled it.

The toolbar itself was installed as part of the Google pack.

Uninstalling seems to require starting Firefox in safe mode and spending an hour searching for instructions on how to do it. Seems a few people have had this problem

Was I just unlucky or is this a "feature" of G's toolbar?

Thanks all, I managed to uninstall it last year. There was a problem with using the instructions you suggested where it would automatically install itself again. The problem was on a copy of Firefox with the Google toolbar already built in. I can't remember what I had to do to uninstall it, think I had to go into the config file.

The reason I wanted to uninstall it was privacy concerns and I had a different extension which showed page rank installed.
