Google has discontinued its support for for google toolbar for firefox 5 and higher. Hence firefox has disabled the toolbar add-on. I followed some tips on enabling google toolbar by installing a firefox add-on named Add-on compatibility Reporter, followed by google toolbar. When I tried to sign in to access the google bookmarks, it was not successful. Could the problem be from google or firefox? How do I get the solution? I may have to stop using firefox if I could not find a solution.

If you just need access to google bookmarks, you can try this addon instead: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/gmarks/

I have downloaded the suggested add-on (gmarks-1.0.3.3-fx.xpi) but could not open and install it. Then I tried to install it by dragging and dropping it to the FF window. It installed and I restarted FF as instructed but it did not work.

Incidentally, I found the problem solved earlier, one week ago by thalgas on a similar problem ( unable to sign in from google toolbar) posted by giantjudge. The solution worked for me. His solution is as follows:

'"Google changed the login from

www.google.com/accounts

to

accounts.google.com

Solution: Open up toolbar.js with a decent editor (search for the file toolbar.js, right click it and open it with notepad)

Find: www.google.com/accounts"

and replace ALL with: accounts.google.com

Restart FF 6.

Login through the toolbar. Enjoy.

cflammen has this for anyone who is looking for the file.

For anyone looking for toolbar.js location, it will be in: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<xyz>.default\extensions\<{xyz}>\lib
