Either make firefox compatiable with Google tool bar or I am gone

I cannot use Google toolbar with firefox that is important. If this is not fixed, I will stop using firefox...too bad.

Google needs to update the Google Toolbar program for Firefox 5.0.
The Google Toolbar '''7.1.20110512W''' version does work pretty good in Firefox 5.0 by using the Compatibility Reporter extension. But not every feature works 100%.<br />

Google Labs has been working on a GTB 8 version, but it looks like it isn't made for Firefox - just for Internet Explorer. <br />

So, maybe Google isn't going to be supporting Firefox any longer. That might be a move to force Google Toolbar users over to Google Chrome, which I believe has all those features built-in.

  • When will you make Firefix compatible with Google tool bar?

    Clicked your update in error. Now can't use Google toolbar.
    When will you fix your browser

    You have it backwards. Google (and other 3rd-party vendors) must make their products compatible with the browser.
    '''<u>Some Background Information</u>'''<br />
    Included with every Firefox extension is a file named install.rdf. In that file is a parameter "em:maxVersion" which indicates the maximum Firefox version with which the extension '''<u>has been tested and approved by the developer</u>''' (Google, in this case). Only the developer (Google) is responsible for changing that parameter. Firefox enforces that parameter.
    That said. Google and all other developers know where to find the Firefox release schedule for new versions and where to find the test versions (beta) to use to test their product. The location of the release schedule and the beta versions '''is no secret'''. Firefox 5, and all other versions, underwent several weeks of beta testing, during which third-party developers (Google) had an opportunity to do their testing and make necessary changes to make their product(s) compatible. In addition to the 4 weeks of beta testing for Firefox 5, Google has had an additional 19 days since the release of Firefox 5, to make their product compatible. '''<u>Ask Google what is keeping a compatible release from being introduced.</u>'''
    '''<u>Google MAY be ceasing support for their toolbar in Firefox.</u>''' See the list of supported browsers in the following:
    *http://www.google.com/support/toolbar/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1111588#toolbar_info
    '''<u>An add-on that may help</u>'''<br />
    Many users have found that installing the following add-on will restore some (maybe all) functionality for Google's toolbar.

  • Firefox is not presently compatible with Google Tool Bar. When do you think this may be corrected. I use Google a lot.

    Recently I updated my Firefox to 5.0. I did not know until after the loading that it is not compatible with Google Tool Bar. I use Google for many things. When might we expect that to be corrected, if at all?

    Where did you read that Google was going to update the Google Toolbar for Firefox? <br />
    http://googletoolbarhelp.blogspot.com/2011/07/update-on-google-toolbar-for-firefox.html - that is the latest information I have seen.
    Plus, recent changes at Google with them renaming their '''"accounts"''' domain will break all exiting Google Toolbar programs in existence. <br />

  • Mozila 5 is not compatible with google tool bar?!?! a Disaster :S please helop?

    The mozila 5 is not compatible with google tool bar !?!?! This is a disaster? Please are y'all aware of this problem ? How could I fix it :S:S

    Extensions for Firefox, such as the Google Toolbar, include a list of compatible Firefox versions. Currently, the Google Toolbar only goes up to Firefox 4. However, people have tested and it actually works on Firefox 5, so there are two workarounds:
    (1) Edit a file to revise the range of compatible versions
    (2) Install an add-on that lets you ignore the range of compatible versions
    This thread has info on both approaches: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/837142 google toolbar does not work with firefox 5.0. why not! | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox Help].
    Any luck?

  • I recently downloaded FireFox - had the google tool bar - then was asked to upgrade FireFox - no more Goggle Tool bar with spell check - bookmarks etc. I'd prefer to undo this - how?

    I think the question above covers it.
    Thanks
    Bob

    Check that the Bookmarks Toolbar is visible and that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is still placed on the Bookmarks Toolbar.
    If the menu bar is hidden then press F10 or hold down the Alt key, that should make the "Menu Bar" appear.
    Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
    * Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout" (Linux, Windows)
    * Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
    * If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
    * If you do not see the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" or other items that are missing in the toolbar palette or on a toolbar then click the "Restore Default Set" button

  • Please fix the compatibility issue regarding google tool bar

    I have now FF5 and this version is NOT compatible with Google Tool Bar. I have all of my favorites and bookmarks on that tool. I do not and will not use the bookmark feature in FF. Google is everywhere and I can access it most places and feel it is a large error on Mozilla to exclude such a widely accepted plugin.

    chibangbodies, looks like you did not bother to read past first post. It is Google that needs to update their extension, always been that way.
    Firefox 5.0 is pretty much both a security update in place of 4.0.2 and has some additional features fixes that would not likely have been in a point update.
    The vast majority of extensions that were compatible with 4.0.1 should be compatible with 5.0 with mainly just a maxversion bump. Unless it happens to be a extension that needs additional work sue to some changes or updates.
    Also when dawn.prentice@ posted this thread some 2 weeks ago the Firefox 5.0 was still in Beta testing (beta 4 of 7) as it was only just officially released June 21.

    You can try this extension to override compatibility issues,

    Once it is installed, open Addons Manager and re-enable Google Toolbar.

  • Does Firefox 8 allow java and google tool bar???

    '''Will fire fox 8 address the problem of enable java console for scrips and google tool bar ''' If not we wish to remain with fire fox 7
    we were able to enable those extensions thank you.. [email protected]

    Yes, The Norton Toolbar does support Firefox 11 ([http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-360/Firefox-11-Support-for-Norton-Toolbar/td-p/679053 http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-360/Firefox-11-Support-for-Norton-Toolbar/td-p/679053]). Unfortunately, the Google Toolbar was discontinued by Google, so upon upgrading, it may or may not work. [http://googletoolbarhelp.blogspot.com/2011/07/update-on-google-toolbar-for-firefox.html http://googletoolbarhelp.blogspot.com/2011/07/update-on-google-toolbar-for-firefox.html].
    You can however read [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/google-toolbar-not-compatible-firefox https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/google-toolbar-not-compatible-firefox], which offers several alternatives to the Google toolbar so then you don't have to continue running an insecure version of Firefox for one extension.

  • With the last FF update I lost my Google Tool Bar - downloading again does'nt help

    Lost Google tool bar

    Every time Firefox opened
    == Firefox last updated to 3.6.6

    The problem persist even after I download a newer version of the tool bars, apparent FF blocked all Google tool bars

  • I just downloaded Firefox 6.0. The web page asked if I wanted to upgrade. What is the most recent version of Firefox and why can't I get it denoted in the propperties link? Also why is it not compatible with AVG Tool Bar?

    I just downloaded Firefox 6.0. The web page asked if I wanted to upgrade. What is the most recent version of Firefox and why can't I get it denoted in the propperties link? Also why is it not compatible with AVG Tool Bar?

    Firefox 6.0 is the current version.
    Get what denoted in what properties link.
    You can get the version number in Help -> About Firefox,
    and in '''about:support''' typed into the Location bar, and you can use JavaScript to list the user agent -- javascript:navigator.userAgent
    I'm not aware of any version of Firefox from Fx 2 on up to Fx 6 where "AVG Safe" is not a problem. Crashes aren't the only failures caused.
