Remove the iGoogle Sidebar

For some reason, someone over at Google thought it would be a good idea to add a sidebar to the iGoogle homepage and not give ANY option to get rid of it, even though it essentially takes up 20% of the screen real estate...

Thankfully people out there know things, and because of that we have the iGoogle Sidebar Toggle Firefox add-on, chock full of features that help you. Well, just one actually, a little arrow that toggles that pesky sidebar...

Resolution

I went ahead and attached the file here because you have to sign up to download it from the official page, which is annoying, but if you want to do that, by all means,

here is the link -> https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/9301

anyway, if you do grab it below, it's easy to install,

Just click to download, select "Open with" and choose Firefox (or browse for firefox.exe)

Once it's done installing the sidebar simply won't be there anymore, instead you'll find a nice arrow (see the screenshot)...
