Firefox 5 is notworking with google toolbar

I updated my Firefox to Firefox 5, now I have problem with google toolbar which new version doesn't let me to install google toolbar

The Google Toolbar still works just fine with Firefox 5.0, even though it says it's not compatible. However, because of Firefox' poor compatibility design, until Google releases a new version, you need to install Mozilla's Add-On Compatibility Reporter extension from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/15003 and restart Firefox twice.
Each extension specifies which is the maximum compatible version, which is probably 4.0 in your case ('your' as in '90% of users') as Firefox did not give devs any time to verify and re-release their extensions for version 5.0.
The Add-On Compatibility Reporter extension basically tells Firefox to ignore the maximum compatible version so the extension can still work on version 5.0, just like it did on 4.0.

  • URL for Firefox 4. Please. (Firefox 5 is incompatible with Google Toolbar)

    Firefox 5 is incompatible with Google Toolbar.
    Please give a download URL for the last released Firefox 4
    I'm surprised that there is no obvious Archive of earlier releases.

    For those that really need an earlier version of Firefox

    When reinstalling Firefox from a download, Firefox must be down once the installation starts. When the installation finishes, don't let the install start firefox for you. Instead end the install and start Firefox in your normal manner, thus preventing creating a new profile which does not have your bookmarks cookies, etc (but your old profile would still be around and would).
    Research your extensions, some may have updates, some may be found in the developer comments on the add-on, or on the "View all versions" link which is part of the Release notes at the bottom of the add-on page.

    As for the Google toolbar....
    Google decided that they will no longer produce the Google Toolbar for Firefox beyond Firefox 4.

  • I was using Firefox 4, which had the google toolbar and I accidentally updated to firefox 5, which does not have the toolbar and without the toolbar, I feel handicapped using the browser. Is there any way I can go back to Firefox 4??...Pls urgent...

    I am a medical transcriptionist. I was using Firefox 4 and without knowing that Firefox 5 does not support Google Toolbar I updated it. Searching in google is a integral part of my job and without the Toolbar I feel handicapped using Firefox 5. You can say that there is no need for toolbar in firefox 5 as the address bar doubles as toolbar, but I find it very difficult using it. I uninstalled Firefox 5 and try installing Firefox 4 version, but I am not able to. So, I have uninstalled Firefox 4 completely. So, pls advise if there is a way for me to get back my Firefox 4. Tx in advance for your help.

  • I wish to revert to previous version of Firefox. Version 5.0 is not compatible with Google Toolbar

    I upgraded to Firefox 5.0 and now have no Google Toolbar. I'm not sure what else is disabled as incompatible, but I want to revert to my previous version. How can I do this without losing my settings and plugins? I could not find version 4.0.1 on Mozilla's website. Only version 5.0 appears to be available.

    Firefox version 4 (4.0, 4.0.1) is no longer supported.

  • I have chosen a persona, but when I start up Firefox, Mozilla start page with Google shows, and persona is just barely visible only in the toolbar area. How do I get the persona to show, and not Google start-up page?

    I checked out the Mozilla Personas, saw one I liked, and added on. When I start Firefox, the Mozilla start-up page shows as usual with Google on it. The Persona I chose barely shows, and only in the Toolbars area at the top of the screen. Can I modify the start-up page to not show Google, and access Google another way, so that my Persona will show on the whole start-up page?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I added-on Persona

    As you can see from the [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Using+themes+with+Firefox using themes with Firefox] article, personas are "''lightweight themes that can change the color scheme and background image of the Firefox toolbars''" and they wouldn't change the webpages.

  • Just updated to firefox 5.0 and my google toolbar has disappeared, went to reinstall it and error message says google toolbar is incompatable with firefox 5.0. Any solutions? Thanks

    Last night I opened firefox and it said there was an update (5.0) available, so I updated. When I opened the browser this morning the google toolbar was missing, so I went to the google site and tried to download the google toolbar for firefox. A message appeared in the next to a piece of green jigsaw saying the google toolbar is incompatable with firefox 5.0. Is there some way to make it compatable? Regards, Peter.
