We also have an article with more information - Google Toolbar is no longer compatible with Firefox - Here are some alternatives

Google's page says that their toolbar works in Firefox version 2.0 - 4.0.*.

Old browser versions are not necessarily secure, so you should always upgrade to the newest version for the best security. Look for add-ons -- there are many -- that replace the toolbar functionality, like Googlebar Lite.

sctl, this thread was already answered.

toolbarlite works great. amazed i had response, let alone one that worked. try that with ie if your feeling amazingly lucky.

Work's like a charm! Thank you very Much!!!

Firefox has Google Shortcuts addon instead in newer versions.

So all of that was interesting reading however I would still like to know how I can simply DELETE the Google toolbar. I will miss it but it's a problem. I guess that my other choice would be to delete Firefox and download Opera instead. I've used Firefox for a long time and I would miss that as well. Why can't life be simpler and everyone get along.

There are things about Windows I hate and things about Mac's I hate yet I use both of them. So why are so many people have trouble getting rid of Google's toolbar? Did they do something to prevent an easy uninstall?

There is a Firefox add-on that works with FF8 called googlebar lite. It's missing a few things (like a gmail button) from the original googlebar but gets you 80-90% of the way there:
