How to change the new google layout on firefox?
If by %26quot;bar%26quot; you mean the options bar on the left hand side of the Google results, click the %26quot;Hide options%26quot; link (just under the Google logo, at the top of the sidebar).



If you ever need to turn the options sidebar back on, click the %26quot;Show options%26quot; link to toggle it back on again.



(This isn't a %26quot;new Google layout%26quot;, and it has been around for several months. You - or someone else - probably clicked the %26quot;Show options%26quot; link by accident.)



However, if you meant the experimental search sidebar that Google have introduced, you may want to clear your cookies from Google (since I believe Google %26quot;opt-in%26quot; random users to this experimental search to gather statistics about its usage).



To clear cookies in Firefox, open the Tools menu and choose %26quot;Clear Recent History%26quot; (or %26quot;Clear Private Data%26quot; in older versions of Firefox).



Tick the %26quot;Cookies%26quot; box (and choose %26quot;Everything%26quot; from the %26quot;Time range to clear%26quot; box in the latest version of Firefox) and click the %26quot;Clear Now%26quot; (or %26quot;Clear Private Data Now%26quot;) button.



This will clear your cookies from all sites (including Google) and should hopefully opt your browser out of the %26quot;experimental%26quot; search layout.



(A side effect is that you'll be logged out of any sites you ticked %26quot;Remember me%26quot; on - if you don't want this to happen, you might want to research deleting cookies from one site only, and then delete all Google cookies only.)



Hope I've been of some assistance. :)
