Security problem with my google toolbar on firefox, what should I do?

google claims I can not use newer version of it on new firefox, but I have it now so it must not be the new versio of firefox. This does not make sense to me. What is happening here?

Your system info aside suggests you are using Firefox 3.0.19 that is old and not supported. Firefox 3.6 is still supported, and should be compatible with google toolbar. (Currently it is 3.6.24 I think) Whereas the current up to date release is Firerfox 8.

Problem with Nightly, Aurora, and 4.01, what should I do?

I had Firefox 4.01 installed on my PC, and I recently updated it to get the Aurora which I noticed allows you to change between Aurora, the Beta, and the Release, which I loved, but I also downloaded Nightly too. Nightly works great and I was able to run both programs no problem, however, I noticed with the new update for Nightly, whenever I run Aurora, it opens up Nightly. I install the release of 4.01 again and it still opens up as nightly, what should I do?

Make sure that you close all other browsers before opening Aurora. Otherwise Firefox will find the already running Nightly build and open a new window in that process. Also make sure that each version has its own profile folder.

How to stop Firefox incessantly interrupting my work by trying to install an update incompatible with the Google toolbar which I depend on.that does nor

Dear Sirs,
How can I stop Firefox from incessantly interrupting my work by trying to install an update that is incompatible with the Google toolbar which I depend on. Not knowing any better, I trustingly allowed the installation the first time the update notice appeared. It crippled my Internet routines. The toolbars did not work and the bookmarks as well as all the history entries were lost, I have had to reinstall my previous Firefox 4.0.1 and start all over again.

Hi chib60,
Sorry you are having so much trouble.
Dealing with your last comment first ''"Copy and paste the information from Help > Troubleshooting Information." Why? How? This is ridiculous info - it has no logic or sense to it like most of your advice. ''
If you look to the right you will see a link for 'more system details' that is where such troubleshooting information appears, and it can sometime be helpful.
I am using firefox on a couple of old XPs without problems. Obviously crashing is not expected behaviour, but please try to think of firefox as two separate parts the basic browser and all the additional software as addons and plugins.
It may be rather unrewarding trying to track down the cause of a crash using crash information, the best way forward is probably to start using it in[[safe mode]] and with no plugins installed.

If firefox is recommended by your university, why not try it out on one of their computers, presumably it is installed on the university computers available in the library etc, that should at least convince you that it does work.
I hope the problem is not malware, but if it is all the personal computers you try, a possibility that can not be discounted is that it is some form of malware affecting those computers.
Have you tried Internet Explorer, that will be installed on your XP by default I imagine, does that work ?

I downloaded a new version of firefox. It said it had problems with my norton toolbar and now it doesn't feature it in the window. I'm not that comp savvy. How do I either get the Norton toolbar up or go back to the old firefox? Thank you.

Please authorize ADE 3 with same credentials that you used with older version of ADE

This latest version of Firefox is complete pants! Why can I no longer have a nice, tidy little row of icons across the top so that I click and find things at an instance like I could with the Google Toolbar?

This latest version of Firefox is complete pants! Why can I no longer have a nice, tidy little row of icons across the top so that I can click and find things at an instance, like I could with the Google Toolbar?
Example:- I've just spent 20 minutes looking how to 'translate' after I installed that add-on, there it was! A tiny little icon in the bottom right of the screen, I find the new set up very messy and very hard to navigate. Why can't I have the same set up on my toolbar that I've had for the last ten years? It's that bad that I'm even considering going back to I.E.

Thanks but you're only telling me stuff I already know, that dosen't explain how I get the new version of Firefox to look neat and tidy like it always used to. I can no longer have all my icons that I use, I can no longer access things as easily as I could and the whole thing looks very bare and basic now! A bigger mess than even Google Chrome.
I've spent most of this evening trying to get stuff back that is now lost because of this 'upgrade' and I'm now giving up with it. Well done! You've totally ruined what was the best browser for years.

Which Windows version are you running?
Try to run the Firefox installer as Administrator (right-click: Run as Administrator) and maybe the Firefox program also just one time.

Security problem with Google Recaptcha plugin

Hi all,
Found a security problem with Google Recaptcha plugin. If I delete the tag containing the recaptch(on some page) with Firebug, I can authorize myself without validating with Recaptcha. If someone knows how to fix this problem, I'll be be very thankful.
Thanks in advance,
Regards Ivan

Hi Ivan,
you can secure it by adding an "Item specified is NOT NULL" validation to your page.
Will update the documentation and try to add a permanent fix in a new version of the plug-in.
Thanks for letting us know!

How to use google toolbar in firefox 5? Can I use the older version with google toolbar or I have to delete firefox from my computer using IE etc?

I want to use google toolbar in firefox 5, but it does not support it.

You can try this extension to override compatibility issues - once it's installed, you can just re-enable Google toolbar.

If you still want to downgrade, see here:

As a result of the Firefox5 update, I was informed that there was a conflict with my Google toolbar. Afther the update installed I lost the Google tool bar. I don't understand and would like to have the Google tool bar restored. Can you help me.?

I received a screen message that a Firefox5 update was available and was advised to install it. I did. As part of the installation process a message was posted indicating that the update was not compatible with my Google toolbar. I don't know why, because I have been using Google and Firefox compatibly for some time.

It is absolutely nuts that I updated to 5.0 and now I'm missing my Google Toolbar and most importantly SPELLCHECK! I never would have updated had I know of this problem. Talk about an essential tool. Come on Firefox! I'll be using another browser until you can get this problem fixed!

Google Toolbar crashing Firefox 3.6.8

Firefox 3.6.8 crashes when accessing Add-on Manager and Google Toolbar (v 7.1.20100723W) is enabled
Running Firefox 3.6.8 on a Win7 64x HP dv7 notebook
Receive the following “Warning: Unresponsive Script” box when accessing Add-ons Manager...
Contents of box:
“A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete.
Script: file:///C:/Program%20Files%20(x86)/Mozilla%20Firefox/components/nsExtensionManager.js:623”
The warning box cycles on repeatedly (Don't ask check box/Continue/Stop Script has no effect)…have to kill Firefox through “end process” in Windows Task Manager
Method:
Open Firefox in SafeMode…disabled all add-ons…accessed Add-on Manager with no issues
restarted firefox in normal mode twice to ensure normal mode is active… accessed Add-on Manager with no issues
enable add-ons one at a time and restarted twice for each add-on and accessed Add-on Manager with no issues
enabled Google tool bar and restarted … accessed Add-on Manager and the browser failed with the above script error…killed firefox through task manager…
restarted firefox… accessed Add-on Manager and the browser failed with the above script error…killed firefox through task manager
restarted Firefox in safe mode…disabled Google toolbar…
restarted Firefox in normal mode twice…accessed Add-on Manager with no issues
uninstalling/ reinstalling does not work…same issue
is any search engine toolbar?…I have read yahoo is crashing as well

Okay, this is a great way to do it. First start up Firefox in Safe Mode. On a windows, press alt when Firefox starts. On a Mac, press and hold alt and command while the Firefox icon bounces. Then, click on continue with safe mode. Go to the addons thingy, and don't disable Personas, UNINSTALL IT. Because then it takes the problem off completely. There you go. The problem is solved on Windows and Mac.

I am looking for the google toolbar for Firefox 8.0 because the translation it had was the best. Nothing matches it. Can anyone help me find it?

I'm using Firefox 8.0.1 with Windows 7
Ever since I updated Mozilla to this newer version, I have been having problems with translation options. I have tried many other translation plugins and they're just not as good (so please don't suggest them).
I use sites in various languages and write in different languages too. What's great about this translator was that you could hover over a word and in an instant it automatically detected the language and translated the word (or highlighted text). No clicks, no language selections, no shortkeys. I need something similar.

The Google Toolbar for Firefox was discontinued by Google last summer.

Cant sign in to google toolbar for firefox!

I run firefox 3.6.22
I Have the google toolbar installed
igoogle is my homepage
igoogle is signed in and when I start up firefox it starts up as it should and and logs in. On my home page I can access my mail etc.
The problem is that the google toolbar is no longer automaticaly signed in. When I try to sign in it acts as though it is signing in but it dosent. It dosent say that the pasword or user name is rong it seems like it is loging in and dosent notefy me of any problems.
I cant seem to fix this

Google changed the login domain for their '''accounts''', which broke the Google Toolbar. They're gonna need to fix the Google Toolbar extension, which probably won't happen because in July they announced they aren't going to support Firefox 5.0 and newer versions. But you can fix it yourself if you're a little familiar with programming.
With Firefox closed, open up toolbar.js in the Google Toolbar extension with a decent text editor.
Find:
www.google.com/accounts
and replace ALL with:
accounts.google.com
Start Firefox.
Login through the toolbar. Enjoy.

How i can istal google toolbar to firefox 3.6.21 ?

Be aware that Google has decided not to update the Google Toolbar for Firefox 5.0 and later versions, so Firefox 4.0 is the last version it will work with.

Fix for google toolbar for firefox v7.0.1

Need a fix for google toolbar for firefox v7.0.1 it no longer works with updated Firefox Do not care to switch back to IE.

The Google Toolbar has nothing to do with Mozilla. Mozilla is not and never was responsible in any way for the Google Toolbar.
The Google Toolbar was created by Google for other browsers. It was never added to their own Google Chrome browser, and they have indicated that they have dropped support for it in Firefox. The only browser they were really concerned with keeping it in was IE. They did however assert that it was not needed in Firefox because there were already features in Firefox -- those "features" include other extensions which are not really Mozilla either. But the Google Toolbar is something you got from Google. I think it is doubtful that it would have ever passed Mozilla testing to be included at mozilla.addons (AMO) or that Google would have provided Mozilla with the source for verifications.
Take a look at what features you use in the Google Toolbar and check out your usage to what is available to you based on what Google has mentioned and based on what some Firefox users have noted in the following article:
* [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Using_Google_Toolbar_features_without_toolbars Using Google Toolbar features without toolbars] - (MozillaZine Knowledge Base
For what it's worth Firefox 8.0 came out today (Tue Nov 8th, 2011), I updated from Help > About Firefox at what would be 11:55 AM Pacific time (7:55 PM London). It would be rolled out to different areas at different time. The release notes did not come up, which is probably good because they mess up so many users when they do come up.
