3 different tool bars load in my Firefox browser; Yahoo, Google, and AVG. I only want one. How do I remove the other two?

Why would you ask here?
Firefox is a third party browser. Yahoo, Google and AVG are third party products. All of these things had to be installed by you or someone else onto your computer. They do *not* come with Windows XP nor are they a critical part of the Operating System (although they are fine products - or some of the products they make are - in their own right.)
Given your question - your best place to look for an answer (although you are likely to get one here) is in the Help for Firefox, followed up by the Firefox web pages.
In Firefox, truly the help and the web page end up being the same thing. However - doing a search through the built in help system for this:
remove toolbars
comes up with this: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Customizing+Firefox#Hiding_Adding_and_Removing_Toolbars
Here's the forums to ask Firefox-centric questions: http://support.mozilla.com/tiki-view_forum.php?locale=en-US&forumId=1

I don't use Firefox and don't know the answer, but let me point out that you are asking a Firefox question in a Windows XP newsgroup. Firefox is not part of Windows. Your question is off-topic here, and most important, you are much more likely to get the help you're looking for if you would ask in a Firefox (or general browser) newsgroup instead. That's where you are much more likely to find Firefox experts.

I believe in FireFox you can turn them off at Views; Toolbars. Or, drag them off the men bar and click an unused area and look for the Exit. I don't know if that will keep them from coming back on the next boot though, so a check of Add/Remove Programs is also likely in order.
As someone said, you really need to take this to either a FF forum or the browser workgroups. FF has decent forums, reachable via the Help menu IIRC.

start, control panell, unistall or remove. Select the toolbars you want to remove from the list and hit uninstall. That definitely should fix your situation. Let me know if it does. Best Regards, Kaja
