I upgraded to firefox 5. No google toolbar, and no mcafee site adviser. When will these be available again? I'm not happy about losing my google bookmarks

I'm questioning whether the firefox 5 update is legitimate? The reason is that when I upgraded to version 5 I lost several things from version 4 (all my Google toolbar, bookmarks, mcafee site advisor etc.) How can I recover these important items? I'm not a happy camper right now.

The Google Toolbar is from Google and support for it can only come from Google, and Google has eliminated it from Firefox, and it never was in Google. Even Google has indicated that the features are available in Firefox through other extensions. But the features are really available in Firefox even without extensions from what I've seen because Firefox has very powerful bookmarks and knowing how to use them with JavaScript, substitution, and keyword shortcuts is a key to using Firefox.
'''The Google Toolbar is no longer supported by Google in Firefox 5 and up''', you may be able to get what you want from it for a limited time, the directions to install the Google Toolbar were posted before Google actually announced dropping support.

  • My google toolbar disappeared - I NEED IT! When trying to install it tells me its not compatible with this new version of Firefox. UNACCEPTABLE!

    I updated Firefox this morning. As I use the Google toolbar on a regular basis for many different reasons, I was very upset to find it had disappeared. I went to Google apps to reinstall it, but found out that it is not compatible with this version of Firefox! Please, don't update software, if it is NOT going to work properly.
    Is there anyway I can remove the update and go back to how it was before???

    You can get Firefox 3.6.16 here: <br />

    There won't be any new Firefox versions released for Mac OS X 10.4 and especially not for Macs with a PowerPC processor.<br />
    The Firefox 3.6.x versions are the last Firefox versions that will run on PPC and there won't be many more security updates.
    For an unofficial Firefox 4 compatible version (TenFourFox) that runs on PowerPC Macs with OS X 10.4.11 or OS X 10.5.8 you can look at:

  • With the newest version of Firefox, I can no longer use the Google toolbar! Also, some of my Webroot protection had to be inactivated. When will these features be able to be used with Firefox again?

    With the new version of Firefox, the Google toolbar and something with my Webroot protection had to be inactivated to install. I use many of the features on the Google toolbar daily, and miss not being able to use it. When I try to reinstall, the message is that it is incompatible with Firefox 5.0. And I am not sure which features of my Webroot protection had to be deactivated for Firefox to install and run, but I want to retain my firewall and virus protection. And I MUCH prefer to use Firefox! So - I know you are always developing and improving. When will these become compatible again with Firefox.

  • Trying to install google toolbar and it keeps bringing up Explorer instead

    I have just picked up a new HP dm4 (and already regretting it but thats neither here nor there) and immediately installed Firefox. I tried to download google toolbar and it downloaded fine. When I go to install the toolbar it automatically brings up my Explorer and installs on Windows Explorer and NOT Firefox.
    How do I get it to install on Firefox???

    You need the Google Toolbar '''for Firefox'''.

  • Firefox 5 deleted my Google Toolbar and Google sez I can't install the Google toolbar to Frefox 5 -- What do I do?

    Details: Firefox 5 deleted my Google Toolbar and Google sez I can't install the Google toolbar to Frefox 5 -- What do I do?

    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?

  • Firefox asks me to update to 5.0, but I have rolled back to 4 because Google Toolbar and McAffee, among others are not updated for 5.0. When will the add-ons be updated?

    The update for 5.0 came so quickly, that a very large number of the add-ons and extensions I use to keep it safe and operate the way I am used to are not working, the MOST important of these being Google Toolbar and McAfee site advisor. I am already using Chrome for work due to the known issues FireFox has with the Google Toolbar in 4.0, and although I am a HUGE fan of Firefox, this latest update that seems rushed just to meet a deadline set may be the straw the broke the Firefox's back!! Let me know what I can expect going forward

    Since you are or were working on Google Chrome, you already have a good idea of how you can use your browser without the Google Toolbar.

  • Why has the Google Toolbar and PageRank Tool disappeared with the newest version of Firefox. How do I restore the PageRank Indicator tool?

    I downloaded the newest version of Firefox and now the Google Toolbar is not working the same. Most importantly the PageRank indicator is not present. I've tried re-installing the Google Toolbar, and I've made sure the PageRank tool is activated. But with the new version the PageRank tool does not appear anywhere. Also, my other add-on Toolbar, LastPass has disappeared well.

    I installed the latest addon from here https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/seo-status-pagerankalexa-toolb/
    When I restarted Firefox 5.0 I then enabled the FILE, EDIT VIEW HISTORY etc bar. If you then then right click your mouse right next the the HELP button it brings up which tabs and toolbars you have enabled. Click on Customise. then find the SEO TOOLBAR in the list, and left mouse click on it and dont let go of the mouse click, drag it up to your customised toolbar area.
    You will then see the SEO TOOLBAR icon in your customised toolbar. Click on this, and it will put the PAGERANK and ALEXA bars at the bottom right cornet of your firefox browsing window. Not sure if youll need to click that every time to get those 2 bars down there but at least this version works with Firefox 5.0
    Best of luck!

  • Will there be a google toolbar and webroot toolbar that will work in firefox5

    lost google toolbar and webroot toolbar when upgrade to firefox5

    It's not necessary to merge the iCloud and iTunes Store accounts. The Family Organizer should use their own iCloud account when setting up Family Sharing. You'll also be asked to supply the iTunes Store account you want to use to share music, movies, apps, etc., with your family during the setup process. It appears Apple has already addressed this common problem.

  • I was having issues with firefox so I upgraded to firefox 4. I am connected to the internet but when I open firefox or even internet explorer it says Unable to connect problem loading page. Nothing will pull up!!! No help link or anything!!?

    I was having issues with firefox so I upgraded to firefox 4. I am connected to the internet but when I open firefox or even internet explorer it says Unable to connect problem loading page. Nothing will pull up!!!

    I don't know if you are still having the issue but if you are have you contacted your ISP? It sounds to me like it's more of a connectivity issue than a browser problem. I've dealt with similar things several times and in both cases it was something with the modem or an ISP setting.
    I'm also wondering if it could be a Wi-Fi issue. Can you log in to your router? (It varies by brand but you would go to a site such as http://192.168.10.1. That is for Trendnet. The information for yours should be in the documentation that came with it.)
    You should be able to get the router log in page to come up even if you can't connect to any websites. (Provided the network is set up correctly.)
    I also would double check your connection settings (if you're connecting over Wi-Fi) or your ethernet connection. (If you're connected directly to the modem and router.)
    Hopefully one of these suggestions will be helpful.

  • Firefox v3.6 is unstable and v4.0 is worse. When will these be fixed?

    Firefox v 3.6.17 is unstable and will not load CNN websites 50% of the time. Will not load other websites consistently, just takes me to a Yahoo help screen.
    Firefox v 4.x is worse. Most unstable.
    I have performed every recommended upgrade Firefox has suggested and yet nothing improves.
    When will Firefox be fixed?

    A lot of glitches in Fireworks can be solved by deleting the preferences file. First you will have to make sure your Library folder is viewable and you are accessing the root folder on your hard drive. In recent releases of Mac OS, it is hidden by default.
    First, show your Hard Drive by following these directions:
    In the Finder, choose Preferences from the Finder menu.
    Click the General icon on the toolbar.
    Select "Hard disks" in the "Show these items on the desktop:" section.
    Close the Finder Preferences window.
    Next, you'll have to unhide the library folder by following these instructions:
    In the Finder, choose View > Show View Options (or press Command-J).
    Near the bottom of the resulting View-Options palette is a setting called Show Library Folder. Enable this option. Your Library folder is immediately visible.
    In that folder, find the Preferences folder. Then in the preferences folder, find the file with this name (or similar): "com.adobe.Fireworks.12.0.0.plist" and delete it.
    Restart your machine and Fireworks and your problem may be solved.

  • Firefox keeps trying to get me to upgrade to 5.0 but when I had that before I couldn't get the google toolbar and I need it.

    I need google toolbar but 5.0 won't let me have it. Please quit reminding me to upgrad to it until it is compatible.

    You can turn off update checking Tools > Options > Advanced > Update
    but Firefox 4.0 is no longer supported, so you should update to 5.0
