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:

'''<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.

  • When will you make adobe compatible with Dreamweaver

    I'm a UI Designer. I know light html and CSS. I don't want to have to figure out all the latest browser compatibilities, and I want to be able to avoid learning javascript/jquery but be able have cool effects in my website or client websites like parallax scrolling, lightbox, etc.
    If you went about this in an intelligent manner, you would make this compatible with Dreamweaver for designers to update, for UI/UX designers to use as high fidelity prototypes that can be handed off to developers later, and for designers to import into Dreamweaver to finesse styles and change elements. If this doesn't happen, I can easily see this becoming a dinosaur like Web Objects Fusion and clients will be left with obsolete products.
    PLEASE make this a useful product that plays well with Dreamweaver!

  • 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?

  • When will firefox 4 be compatable with comcast tool bar?

    firefox v4 indicates that comcast tool bar is not compatable with firefox v4. was ok with 3.6.16 so what's up and when will it be fixed.

    That's something that Comcast needs to fix.

  • 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 />
    http://www.google.com/support/toolbar/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1111588#toolbar_info <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 iPhone 5 be compatible with Brazilian internet 4G

    I live in Brazil and would like to have an iPhone 5. But (what I thought unthinkable) I got to know it's not compatible with Brazilian internet 4G. When will iPhone 5 be compatible with our 4G? Is Apple doing anything about this? I see no point in buying an expensive an state of the art phone and not to be able to use it with 4G. And about other devices like iPad and iPod?
    Thank you.

    We don't know. However, what Apple knows and is willing to share regarding 4G/LTE compatibility is found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937  (updated recently).

    If you lost sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
    System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
    Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
    If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
    If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the control center if you are running iOS 7. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to get to control center . Tap on the bell icon and system sounds will return.
    If you are running iOS 5 or iOS 6, the system sound control is in the task bar at the bottom. Double tap the home button and swipe all the way to the right in the task bar to get to the speaker icon on the left side. Tap on that and the sounds will return.
    If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock can be accessed in the same manner as described above.
    This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

  • Firefox 15 not compatible with Norton Tool bar, is there going to be a fix?

    When will you fix this problem with Norton's Tool Bar compatability? I use this feature all the time.

    I had Firefox 18 that crashed with Windows 8, and I also had my Norton toolbar. However, I removed 8 and installed back 7 (Windows), and Norton disappeared. Therefore,I went to Firefox 15 and my bar was back. It was back for the past 2 days, and now it is gone, out of the blue. I have the new Comcast Norton 360 and it has been updated - but my bar is gone. I want my bar and it is the only bar for privacy that I trust. I prefer Firefox 18, if I can have it with my Norton bar. Any ideas? I am not able to go to add on's and click onto "enable" because it states that it is incompatible with Firefox 15, therefore, there are no enable or disable buttons. What is going on?

  • 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.

  • Re. update to v.8.0.1, I will update to it when you make it compatible with Copernic Desktop

    I have communicated this before and got no answer. I use Copernic Desktop all the time and so do lots of people. It is a top-reviewed 3rd party application. You shouldn't develop a new Firefox version (saying that it should be installed urgently) if it conflicts with such widely used software as Copernic. Telling us that Copernic will be disabled until THEY provide a compatible version is more than a little bit arrogant, and also inconvenient for us your customers.

    Why is it Copernic "that has to make it compatible"? Why can't Firefox develop new versions with an eye on compatibility with major 3rd party applications? Was Copernic (and others) advised that Firefox was developing a new version that would be incompatible with them? If so, how far in advance were they advised?
    Why is Copernic the one that has to make it compatible? Is it the "big bully in the schoolyard" explanation? (along the lines of the joke "Q: Where does King Kong sit? A: Anywhere he wants.") I'd be careful with that one. Microsoft got in a lot of trouble for bringing out new versions of Windows and IE that were incompatible with their actual or potential competitors. As for timing - however long Firefox has been out their first announcement of it had the "install Firefox 8.0 but we will disable Copernic Desktop when you do" warning with it.

  • When will creative labs become compatible with AAC fil

    I've been using itunes to upload music and I wanted to know when creativelabs will be compatible with the itune friendly AAC files.

    Time to rip this post apart.
    <<I'll hand it to you for persistence, although I don't know why you CONTINUALLY try to disrupt a tech forum for Creative with pro-Apple BS.>>
    Pro-Apple BS? How was pointing out that AAC is an open format pro-Apple? It's not. Don't make up things. All I did was point out that AAC is open and that it can be played on any OS, or any MPEG-4 compatible software or hardware.
    <<AAC is a proprietary format. It is, as you should know, based on the audio specification for MPG4, which came out over 6 years ago. Dolby Labs controls the licensing of this format, the codec and the chips to decode and encode it. The fees are substantially higher than those for WMA, and of course, than MP3.>>
    Stop getting your information from that post on Napster that I debunked MONTHS ago. I proved that wrong and you know very well that it's wrong. Anyway, Dolby does control the licensing for MPEG-4 AAC, yes. However, licensing fees are not anything like you or that Napster post said. I provided information back then, so you can go back and look for yourself, if you're still choosing to throw your money away on Napster. If licensing fees are so bad, then why are there so many freeware players that play AAC files? MPEG-4 AAC files! Why? Why can I download a FREE operating system (Linux), and use completely free software to rip and play AAC files? Exactly. iTunes is freeware you know. Why can I download it for free and rip and play AAC files? Surely Apple isn't going to front the bill for millions of people to use iTunes to just rip, organize, and play their music.
    <<AAC is not the logical successor to MP3. If only WMA or AAC are considered, then WMA is the clear winner in that race. >>
    How is WMA the clear winner? Besides the fact that WMA sounds noticably inferior at any bitrate.... Even HE-AAC mops the floor with WMA9 Pro at low bitrates. Anyway, how is WMA the clear winner? AAC compatible digital audio players control *90%* of the hard dri've market, 43% of the flash market, and a combined total of over *70%* of the entire market. Let's not forget that the number one online music store, which controls over 70% of the market, uses AAC as it's format of choice, and the next biggest online store behind very distant number 2 Napster is using AAC as well. Soon Napster will be launching a "music to go" rental service that targets ALL platforms. Can you guess the file format of choice? AAC
    <<In fact, WMA9 Pro is under consideration for the next generation "CD" compression. This, along with DVD-A and SACD. Note there is nothing from Dolby under consideration at all. >>
    hahahaha says who? Actually, since MPEG-4 is part of the HD-DVD and Blu-Ray specs, AAC is already part of the deal And, right now, SACD has the same market penetration that CD at the same point in it's lifetime. So SACD is well on it's way to becoming the "next CD". As it looks right now, SACD will become the CD format of "tomorrow", while the iTunes Music Store is handling the current "CD quality" music business just fine. As it stands though, honestly, it will be a combination of two things. SACDs for audiophiles, and iTunes-like downloads for everyone else.
    Also, Dolby only handles the licensing portion of AAC. AAC was developed by a number of companies, including Sony. Sony has a stake in SACD, blu-ray, and any optical disc technology that comes out. So I can guarantee you that they will not let AAC die, even if it kills their precious atrac3/atrac3plus format.
    And another thing to consider is that the recording industry wants a standard across all platforms for digtial music downloads. And considering 70% of the market is AAC compatible, and by the end of this year, a certain online music store will have passed over $b in total revenue, you can imagine which format will win.
    <<Even assuming the original poster meant he wants to load non-DRM ("Fairplay") tracks on his Creative player, it will not likely happen so long as Apple is intent on blocking 3rd parties from using purchased iTunes songs on any other player.>>
    What does iTunes purchased songs have to do with AAC files ripped from anyother source? Exactly. Using Apple is an excuse for companies to not support AAC. It's their loss though. If Creative would support AAC, they would have opened themselves up to the market of millions of people who do use iTunes and Real Player 0+ to rip their CDs.
    <<It is unlikely Creative will spend the license money for a purpose so limited as self-ripped AAC files when there are other free alternati'ves to somebody ripping their own CD's.>>
    How are AAC files limited? AAC files can be played and ripped on any platform. If you want to talk about limited, you have to look at WMA. It only works under one OS and only certain players can play it. And what free alternati'ves are there? MP3 licensing isn't free. WMA licensing isn't free. If you're selling a player for profit, you HAVE to pay for WMA and MP3 decoding capabilities.
    <<AAC is a good-sounding compressed format, but for mass acceptance it will always remain a niche unless Apple opens things up and Dolby lightens up on their expesi've licensing.>>
    Mass acceptance? AAC has already been accepted by the masses. Over 350 million songs sold in AAC, and 70% of the digital audio player market is AAC compatible. I think players that DON'T support AAC are currently in the niche market
    <<Something good like Oog Voorbis has a better chance of becoming the successor to MP3, I think, and even that remains a niche at this point. >>
    Ogg Vorbis will never replace MP3s. First off, the sound quality isn't as good as AAC. Secondly, Ogg Vorbis requires a processor with a FPU. FPU require more battery power, so battery life is affected significantly. And most importantly, there are no CONVENIENT Ogg Vorbis encoders. Not to mention Ogg Vorbis still has a lot of bugs that need worked out. They only recently worked out a bug that was causing significant high end distortion that greatly affected the sound quality of the files. Plus Ogg Vorbis has no DRM container.
    Also, transcoding a file degrades the sound quality significantly.

  • When will CS3 be fully compatible with Leopard?

    I haven't read any definitive answers to this question.
    Adobe says when Acrobat 8.1.2 Pro is released in late Jan08: Leopard FAQ
    But the 8.1.2 update this month didn't say anything about Leopard...
    Does anyone know? We've been waiting to migrate to 10.5 for a couple of months now and CS3 is the last hold-up.

    I understand CS3 came out before Leopard. But Leopard is a whole new operating system, they give core developers like Adobe months and months to make their software workable for the new OS. Third party developers always take alphas and betas from the OS builds, do they not? Is it the requirement that Apple make each and every software piece compatible with it's OS? So, they in essence have to do the third party's developer's work?
    Further, if it's not compatible, then what grounds does Adobe have telling customers that it is. That would be a lie, then, wouldn't it? I'm just sayin. And I don't have Leopard OR CS3 yet, but I sure don't like the fact that Adobe is being pretty quiet about these issues--it takes someone some digging to figure this out, then they find engineers who are basically claiming it's not compatible, and to wait for likely 18 months until 10.6, and if I were Adobe's legal dept. I'd probably delete this post.
    As far as *everyone* having issues, it doesn't seem to be the case--I am reading several threads where many have figured it out. Maybe I'll be lucky.
    I can certainly see if Apple changed the specs (I'm not sure what this means, do they not provide seeds to you?), Adobe having a LOT to complain about. But I have not seen evidence of this other than an Adobe engineer calling the OS Buggy. Proof?
    I think Apple being quiet about it is that they don't allow their staff to blame others in blanket statements on forums in direct contradiction to what they warrant in writing the software to be compatible with. Usually things like these come from press releases or a kb. Or Steve Jobs <g>
    Buko, your blanket statement about CS3 being perfect in Tiger doesn't seem to wash. A quick look through the Apple forums and the forums here pretty much show that not to be the case. What seems to be clear is that Adobe's registration and auto update program are the problem. I won't go so far as to say they are poorly written and executed, but the scores of people who have had and continue to have numerous issues IN TIGER certainly point in that direction.
    I suppose we could blame Apple for that, too?

  • When will Firefox 6. be compatible with Blackboard?

    Your newest version of Firefox will not allow me to login to Blackboard. I am an instructor using Blackboard to teach online. The previous version worked well with Blackboard.

    1. Firefox 4.0 includes the Sync feature, not need for the Firefox Sync extension.
    2. Check with Nokia for an update for whatever Ovi Suite uses to interface with Firefox, like an extension or plugin. Addon developers are responsible for keeping their stuff compatible with Firefox updates.
