Google needs to update the Google Toolbar program for Firefox 5.0.
The Google Toolbar 7.1.20110512W version does work pretty good in Firefox 5.0 by using the Compatibility Reporter extension. But not every feature works 100%.

Google Labs has been working on a GTB 8 version, but it looks like it isn't made for Firefox - just for Internet Explorer.

So, maybe Google isn't going to be supporting Firefox any longer. That might be a move to force Google Toolbar users over to Google Chrome, which I believe has all those features built-in.
I really wish they would have told me that my plugins would be incompatible BEFORE I did the update. What a stupid waste of my time which seemed to make Firefox worse anyway.
I'm having a difficult time trying to convince myself to stay with Firefox.
Used to be the best but it sure isn't anymore.
Firefox does a compatibility check at the start of the update process and tells the user exactly which add-ons aren't compatible, you can proceed with the update or say "not now" and stay with the current version.
