Why do i get chrome and google toolbar?

Hello,
This morning flash asked me to update to the latest flashplayer. After clicking "download", explorer starts and on the site there is a button "update". After clicking on the button, not only flash gets updatet. Chrome and google toolbar is also installed... Why? There is no checkbox to prevent this.. Why?
Why is adobe doing this? When you install chrome... you don't need google toolbar..right? Please make a checkbox for the next update. Now i have to uninstall google toolbal..again..

The screenshot you posted is a screenshot of the installation of flash on a computer without flash.
I was talking about a update, I already had flash installed but i got a notification from the program that a update was availible.
I updated te program, how do i make a screenshot? It's not possible to update it again.
I'm sure there was no checkbox. The whole page was different from the screenshot you posted. For example the yellow butten didn't say 'download now' but 'update'.
I just don't understand why adobe wants to install google toolbar on my computer. Chrome i can live with, but google toolbar is a stupid programm.

How Do I Deselect Chrome And Google Toolbar in the Automatic Updater

I run IE9 in Vista Flash 12.0.0.38
I have previously deleted Chrome and Google Toolbar from my system.
When the auto updater is activated, it reloads Chrome and the Google Toolbar
How do I stop it loading Chrome and the Goole Toolbar as I dont want it
Thanks

Thanks for that....I used your link and reinstalled Flash Player.....however...does this mean that the automatic downloader is now disconnected or will it download Chrome/Google tool bar again when the next Update is issued??? Hence I have not removed my problem ??
I am pretty sure I didn't tick any boxes in the first place.....so I dont know why I got !!
When one goes to the Adobe Flash page how do you know its the full OFF LINE installer.....it always takes me to the same downloder page all the time. Where does it tell you its off line when you google it.....sorry for seeming so dumb....!!

Why is Adobe forcing downloads of Chrome and Google Toolbar?

Before someone states there is an option, I was given absolutely no option to decide to accept Google Chrome or Google Toolbar. I am forced to use Adobe reader from a Pearson
because of classes. I go to the download link, click run. And there you go, Adobe downloads Adobe Reader, Google Tool Bar, and Google Chrome.
I do NOT want this crap on my computer.
Now I have to go uninstall this. If I wanted Google Chrome or ANY toolbar I would download it myself. Forcing anyone to download software with no option is a stupif PR move.
Its only going to make people angry.

If you download Adobe Reader from http://get.adobe.com/reader/ there is a checkbox to remove optional software from the download.
If you download Adobe Reader from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ there is no bundled software with it.
Lots of companies offer bundled software with free products; it is usually your choice to refuse the offered 3rd party software.

My iMac locks up constantly in email. I click on one or two emails. Then when I click on another email, I get the spinning wheel and have to relaunch. Why does it get confused and lock up?

Firefox 3.6.8 crashes when accessing Add-on Manager and Google Toolbar (v 7.1.20100723W) is enabled

Well, as I said, Firefox 3.6.8 crashes when accessing Add-on Manager and Google Toolbar (v 7.1.20100723W) is enabled. This is on a 2010 white unibody macbook. I have a google toolbar, and all of a sudden, it keeps saying that it can't communicate with the toolbar. Now, I can't even uninstall it because whenever I go to the add on manager, it says there's an 'unresponsive script'. Could anyone help me? Thanks.

I fixed it by running in Safe Mode, and uninstalling Personas. Thanks again!

Rearranging Roboform and Google Toolbars to take up less space.

I use both the Roboform and Google toolbars which appear below the usual Firefox toolbars. One is on top of the other. With Internet Explorer, the toolbars can be 'unlocked" and I'm able to drag the lowest of the two up onto the same line as the other which gives me more viewing area on my laptop monitor. I cannot figure out how to do this with Firefox as the toolbars don't seem to be dragable. Is it even possible to do this with Firefox?

[https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+customize+the+toolbar]
Unlike IE where you can drag an entire toolbar, when you're customizing toolbars in Firefox you move each toolbar item individually.
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Navigation+Toolbar+items
The ability to move addon toolbar items has to be built into the addon toolbar, not every addon toolbar includes that ability. The Google Toolbar has that ability, but I don't use Roboform so I don't know what is possible with it. You'll have to experiment with it in the toolbar Customize mode and see what's possible.
Don't worry about breaking Firefox, if you make a mistake or don't like the results you can go into the Profile folder and delete the localstore.rdf to start all over again with toolbar modifications.

Windows 7. Dowload complete, but when I click on icon, I only get a google homepage and google toolbar. Never a Firefox page or toolbar.

I installed Firefox successfully yesterday. But when I click on the icon, the only page that comes up is a google home page with a google toolbar. No firefox visible at all as page or toolbar. Can't figure it out. Current browser in Explorer and I have a windows 7 operating system on a desktop.

Hi druddock,
Is Firefox in fullscreen mode? Try hitting F11 to see if the toolbar and navigation bar are just hidden. If you see a small ''Firefox'' button in the corner, hit ''Alt'' and go to ''view > toolbars'' and enable the ''Navigation toolbar'' and the ''Bookmarks toolbar''. The [[Back and forward or other toolbar items are missing]] article also has some good information in it.
You should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[How to set the home page]] and try setting your homepage to ''about:home''. This is the default Firefox homepage.
If that doesn't work you should look at the article [[Preferences are not saved]]. If you've upgraded from 3.6, you might also want to look at [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/common-questions-after-upgrading-firefox-36#os this article with common questions after upgrading].
Hopefully this helps!

Why Firefox 5 not compatible with google Toolbar please help.

i prefer firefox 5 but why not compatible with google toolbar.

Firefox 4 is not secure; Firefox 5 is a security and stability update for Firefox 4. The only currently supported versions of Firefox are Firefox 5 and Firefox 3.6.19 (support to expire in a month or two).
As for the Google toolbar....
Google decided that they will no longer produce the Google Toolbar for Firefox beyond Firefox 4.

OT: chrome and google bookmarks

hi
in ie i have google toolbar with google bookmarks.
how can i access my google bookmarks from within chrome?
thanks

Posting a request (or demand) here won't do any good. We're just users like you. Unfortunately posting to the "wish list" page won't do any good either., as this is a corporate decision and it involves recouping development and distribution costs through sponsored downloads. Unless Adobe starts charging for each and every download or update, they aren't going to do away with "checked boxes" for sponsored downloads.

Upon updage, I cannot use back button on new windows that pop-up on link clink but back button is available on the browser window and google toolbar stopped working.

I just updated my firefox and would really like to uninstall the update. My google toolbar is no longer compatible and I am having other issues. When I visit a site that links me to other parts of their site via new windows, the new window i get to has back and foward buttons, but I am unable to use them. Even though I have changed pages, the back button does not go bold and I am unable to get back to any previous pages. I dont have this problem with IE using the same site. I really want to keep using firefox but the new update is making it really hard!

Flash and google toolbar

I would like to know how much adobe sold its soul for by
putting in google toolbar in the install for flash player. There
wasn't even a checkbox to not install. This is walking the edge of
MALWARE. I do not want google toolbar on my computer but it
installed without notice.
Anybody out there feel the same and have a way to install
without the toolbar? I have uninstalled the toolbar but I fear that
the soul selling of adobe will creep into other products. What is
next, you can't install adobe photoshop (retail) without first
installing the google toolbar.

This was a heavy issue in the forums when it first happened,
but it's
been quite a while (years, now). I think it might have even
been Macromedia
that did the soul-selling, if that's what it is.
> There wasn't even a checkbox to not install.
What URL were you using? After the initial protest, years
ago, the
Google toolbar was made optional. I haven't seen it as
non-optional since.
> Anybody out there feel the same and have a way to

> without the toolbar?
I just did it the other day, for testing. I selected the
checkbox that
included the toolbar.
> What is next, you can't install adobe photoshop (retail)

> first installing the google toolbar.
That's a pretty big leap, since Flash Player is free and
Photoshop
isn't, and doesn't run in a browser.

I have just upgraded to Firefox 5 and google toolbar doesn't work anymore. How can I go back?

What details?
''locking - asked & answered multiple time - moderator''

Thats because the old installed version of googletoolbar has a file named install.rdf that declares the max supported version of firefox to be 4.0.
To fix this ,just open the install.rdf file with notepad and change maxVersion from 4.0.* to 6.* (see the image i've also uploaded)
Now, in order to find the correct install.rdf file do the following:
Go to folder : C:\Users\[your user name here]\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[sometext].default and search for the install.rdf file (im using windows 7)
Windows search will find many install.rdf files (one for each addon you have installed on firefox) so make sure that you find the install.rdf that has the line
Google Toolbar for Firefox
in it. For this install.rdf file just rename the max version as stated above , restart firefox..and vuala! Google toolbar is back!

Eimails from hotmail origin are not delivered to me and Google Toolbar is incompatable with Firefox.

Emails to me *****@prodigy.net originating from a hotmail e-mail account are not being delivered.
Google tried to deliver your message, but it was rejected by the recipient domain. We recommend contacting the other email provider for further information about the cause of this error. The error that the other server returned was: 553 553 5.3.0 flpd121 DNSBL:ATTRBL 521< 74.125.83.196 >_is_blocked.__For_information_see_http://att.net/blocks (state 13).
Also, Google toolbar is incompatible with Firefox.I lost all my bookmarks.

Hi, you seem to have several (different) issues...
* The e-mail issue is, as the e-mail states, of the sole responsibility of the other email provider (in this case, prodigy.net). Firefox has nothing to do with this, and I don't think I can help you with this particular issue. If you own this domain or have an IT team behind the prodigy.net domain, I suggest you contact them, because this domain seems to be blacklisted by ATT.
* Regarding lost bookmarks, you can try the suggestions at our support article [[Lost Bookmarks]]
* Regarding Google Toolbar, you can enable it by following the instructions in the section "Forcing addons to work by installing the Addon Compatibility Reporter" in the article [[Add-ons are disabled after updating Firefox]] .
I hope this helps :D
