It works when you go to a site to search for a DVD, CD etc. If for example you go to Amazon and look at details of a DVD by clicking on PriceFriend it brings up a panel of other retailers selling the DVD and their prices.
Doesn't work in IE yet.
It can be downloaded from: http://www.pricefriend.co.uk/

Arthur,
Ah, PriceFriend is a price comparison plug-in.
It works by getting prices for books, CD’s, DVD’s, games and electrical goods from lots of different retailers and displaying them in a panel.
For example, if you jump onto http://wwww.amazon.co.uk and navigate to a DVD or book page then you should see a small panel in the top left of the screen labelled “pricefriend” There is a small button in the panel labelled “Show Prices” – when you click this button price friend will quickly grab prices from dozens of other retailers and list them for you to select. This means that if, say, WH Smiths or HMV have the same item for sale for less then you can just as easily buy from them and save the difference.
(try http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00147AJQ8/ref=s9pop_c2_img3?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=cente...
Remember the Price Friend panel will only display in the top left corner of the screen when it is turned on AND when you are on a page that it recognises.
Make sure the component is turned on by clicking the !Tools” menu and ensuring that “Price Friend” is checked.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Jonathan

or how can I get rid of it to put a "new" version on?

Full details
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/3.0rc1/releasenotes/#whatsnew
What's New in Firefox 3
Firefox 3 is based on the Gecko 1.9 Web rendering platform, which has been under development for the past 33 months. Building on the previous release, Gecko 1.9 has more than 14,000 updates including some major re-architecting to provide improved performance, stability, rendering correctness, and code simplification and sustainability. Firefox 3 has been built on top of this new platform resulting in a more secure, easier to use, more personal product with a lot more under the hood to offer website and Firefox add-on developers.
More Secure
* One-click site info: Click the site favicon in the location bar to see who owns the site and to check if your connection is protected from eavesdropping. Identity verification is prominently displayed and easier to understand. When a site uses Extended Validation (EV) SSL certificates, the site favicon button will turn green and show the name of the company you're connected to. (Try it here!)
* Malware Protection: malware protection warns users when they arrive at sites which are known to install viruses, spyware, trojans or other malware. (Try it here!)
* New Web Forgery Protection page: the content of pages suspected as web forgeries is no longer shown. (Try it here!)
* New SSL error pages: clearer and stricter error pages are used when Firefox encounters an invalid SSL certificate. (Try it here!)
* Add-ons and Plugin version check: Firefox now automatically checks add-on and plugin versions and will disable older, insecure versions.
* Secure add-on updates: to improve add-on update security, add-ons that provide updates in an insecure manner will be disabled.
* Anti-virus integration: Firefox will inform anti-virus software when downloading executables.
* Vista Parental Controls: Firefox now respects the Vista system-wide parental control setting for disabling file downloads.
* Effective top-level domain (eTLD) service better restricts cookies and other restricted content to a single domain.
* Better protection against cross-site JSON data leaks.
