Nice attitude. See Google for an updated version of the Google Toolbar.

A link would be useful. Thanks

I would use Google but I don't have it anymore

It is really unbelievable that you have released a product that has not been properly tested.

I am shocked.

Gutted!

Google Toolbar for Firefox 7.1.2011032 IS compatible with version 5 of Firefox.

I downloaded the Add On Compatibility reporter to enable it

Omusic 1.5.8.7 IS compatible with Firefox 5

See the uploaded image

I'm still going to have to revert back to an earlier version of Firefox as I have to reset Firefox twice to enasble the addons that work..

How about letting us enable the addons that do work and Firefox NOT disabling them when we close the browser

I've sent compatibility reports through Add On Compatibility reporter

Google Toolbar for Firefox 7.1.2011032

Doesn't show a reply

This is a farce

'It is really unbelievable that you have released a product that has not been properly tested. I am shocked. Gutted! ' and need educating

Fuminghere Read the- edmeisters answer

What is the answer?

If it's leave it to Google then that's a problem.

How can I go back to the previous version?

Are you incapable of using the Google search engine to search for "Google Toolbar for Firefox" to find it??
https://www.google.com/intl/en/toolbar/ff/index.html

It seems that Google is asleep and hasn't updated the Google Toolbar for Firefox 5.0 yet - like it's a secret that it was going to be released today. I am seriously starting to wonder if Google pulls this garbage to try to entice Firefox users over to using Chrome instead??

The GTB 7.1.20110512W version works in Firefox 5.0 by using the Compatibility Reporter extension, as benlynx mentioned, I tried it myself due to the large number of postings about the GTB this morning.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/

I am more than capable. The download now works , so wind your neck in.

It didn't until 5 minutes ago.

Even with you not being cordial enough to thank us for the help we provided, you're welcome.

I refer to your first reply to me about being friendly.

Gives the-edmeister a big man cuddle .

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!

fuminhere, only Google can make the decision to declare the toolbar compatible with a new version of Firefox. Unfortunately they haven't done that yet. Firefox automatically disables extensions that are not marked as compatible. In this case the toolbar is marked as compatible with Firefox 4, but not Firefox 5.

If you don't want to wait for Google to update it's compatibility information, you can install the Add On Compatibility reporter, and use that tool to disable the compatibility checking. But be very careful, very often there is a good reason why an extension is not marked as ready for a newer version of Firefox.

You can download the reporter here: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/

Tried everything here and I just get a blank, empty bar that appears when I enable the Google ToolBar and goes when I disable. Right clicking on this bar brings up a corrupted panel; clicking on the spanner icon does not open the expected settings panel. I get nothing :( Mac OSX 10.6.7

I'm not sure how I can use a google toobar to search for a google toolbar when I don't have the google toolbar that I had previous to updating firefox to version 5. .. kinda like swimming in a sand pit.. you can use all the imagination you want.. but real swimming really is not going to happen.. Just like your suggestion to search for different items to help get the google search bar back...It's all just imagination with out a google search bar... so.. check your own attitude zippy (edmeister).. actually read what is posted before trying smart answers.

wheelie:

There are other ways to search than with the Google Toolbar.

its not just for searching its about bookmarks translating and a lot lot more google toolbar is a very important plugin and mozilla should have made it work with their new release cause it is one plugin i cant stay without even if it is for a couple of days.

by the way

Its finally out

google toolbar for firefox 5

v.suryabhargav:

I was responding to wheelie's comments:

• "I'm not sure how I can use a google toobar to search for a google toolbar when I don't have the google toolbar"
• "Just like your suggestion to search for different items to help get the google search bar back...It's all just imagination with out a google search bar.."

Those comments make it sound as though wheelie thinks the only way to search the internet is with Google toolbar. How about going directly to www.google.com or using the Firefox built-in Search Bar for searching.

As for Bookmarks left on Google's server, I would never do that!

Well I totally agree this is crap and an extremely bad design, Firefox did not give devs any time to check and re-release the same add-ons between versions 4.0 and 5.0.

Just install Mozilla's Add-On Compatibility Reporter extension from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/15003 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.
