Just for the sake of unscientific Google "hits" comparison:
It would _seem_ that browser terminology has embraced "toolbar"
["browser toolbar"] has 64,900,000
["browser tool bar"] has 3,200,000
whereas applications and programs favor references to "tool bar"
["application tool bar"] has 186,000
["application toolbar"] has 49,300
["program tool bar"] has 109,000
["program toolbar"] has 26,000
