As Google is responsible for upgrading this app to be compatible with FF5 (?), and it's possible that Google is telling Mozilla to "go fish" so everybody will convert to Chrome - There's already a search box in Firefox.
Why doesn't Mozilla just tell THEM to "go fish" and incorporate the popular parts of the Google Toolbar into Firefox! Stuff like 'AutoFill', 'Highlight Search Items' etc.
?

</p><p>Firefox had been trying to get me to upgrade to 5.0 for weeks, but I had been made aware of the Google Toolbar problem, so I was postponing the install (I didn't want to use the Compatibility Reporter as recommended) . I stumbled across the method described by the member a.joom, i.e. drilling down into my system, and performed the # change procedure from 4.0* to 6.*... it worked flawlessly. When Firefox later asked to upgrade, I approved, and the 'cure' mentioned fooled firefox into thinking the Toolbar was totally compatible. My Neph, who had lost his toolbar in an upgrade 2 weeks ago, followed the same procedure, and upon restart, his toolbar came back as well, as if it had never disappeared.
</p><p>My whole-hearted Thanks to "a.joom" for a very simple "fix" regarding the install.rdf file change.

It is ridiculous that they couldn't update one line of code with 10 days already. They do this in hope to increase Chrome's user base. After all it doesn't make sense to financially support both browsers. I thought only M$ would do things like that, so much for their "don't do evil" bs.

</p><p>Forget the Jone's and Chrome just give us something simple that works and adaptable for goodness sake.... you can worry about beating the competitors after you got something 'usable'!
</p><p>Can't you see people are either downgrading or switching browsers what the hell's going on at Mozilla, sure looks like you have a big, big problem there?
</p><p>And why use WebGL... it's flawed and opened to hackers! Don't believe me do a Google search or see the Register <a href="http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/05/11/chrome_firefox_security_threat/" rel="nofollow">http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/05/11/chrome_firefox_security_threat/</a>
</p><p>NOTE: This not just applies to FF4 &amp; 5 but also to latest versions of Chrome, Safari and Opera. Web GL is the 3D rendering and you are advised to turn it off, reading the article it seems to suggest WebGL don't give two hoots about the flaw!
</p><p>How the heck do you manage to use 512mB of RAM for a browser? Just how much more will you want after any fixes and updates huh?

</p><p>Just install Mozilla's Add-On Compatibility Reporter extension from <a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/15003" rel="nofollow">https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/15003</a> and restart Firefox twice. It basically tells Firefox to ignore the maximum compatible version so the toolbar can be enabled on version 5 too, not blocked because Firefox releases major version numbers like mad just for the sake of catching up with IE9 and Chrome 12 version numbers.
