To Disable Google sidebar in Firefox, install the add-on
Hide Google Options. You can easily enable/disable it anytime from status bar in just a single click. Currently removes the sidebar only from google.com search results.

I bought the mouse at WalMart back in Jan of this year--so, it's been over 90 days and they won't replace it. I have to contact its manufacturer, Logitech.

I called Logitech yesterday. In order to troubleshoot the mouse, the tech person asked me if there was a way in Linux to swap mouse buttons.
Click System-Preferences-Mouse and click
Left-handed for
Mouse Orientation choice.
