Toolbars are a plague; Every other software, especially free software asks the user if he wants to install a toolbar on his system. This is most of the time not that useful and clutters only the browser window. Some toolbars do not offer an uninstallation routine at all which means that it is problematic to remove them completely from your system.
The free software Toolbar Uninstaller scans your system and displays the installed toolbars if they are known by the software. It currently detects 53 Firefox toolbars and 3 Internet Explorer ones. This does not seem that much but the author is explicitly asking for help to be able to add more toolbars to the application.
This is done by submitting information about a new toolbar on the developers homepage. It will then be tested and included once a removal routine has been found. The software is currently available as a beta version and definitely something to look after in the future.

[...] Una verdadera plaga la constituyen sin duda las barras que se instalan bajo la barra de navegación, algunas de ellas sin pedir permiso, supuestamente para tener todo a la mano, pero en ocasiones tenemos una encima de otra quitándonos espacio de pantalla y si alguna vez se quiso desprender de una de esas barras sabrá que es algo muy difícil de lograr, porque las hacen precisamente de esa manera porque sirven para espiarnos y darle información al fabricante de nuestros datos. ¿Cree que no se puede hacer nada? pues le tenemos noticias, ya que existe una práctica herramienta llamada Toolbar Uninstaller que es holandesa y es gratuita y se encarga de manera fácil de deshacerse de muchas de las barras de Internet Explorer y Mozilla Firefox, ¿cuáles? Pues la barra de navegación de Google, la de Yahoo, la de Skype y muchas mas. Descárguela y utilícela para hacer su vida mas simple. Notará la diferencia en la velocidad de navegación. via GHacks.net [...]
