I use an older version of Firefox - not sure which - however it suits my modest needs perfectly. Why do I need a change? Firefox isn't aware of my needs and apparently neither respects them! Arrgh!

Thank you madperson for the heads up. My virus programme also reminded that FF4 was vulnerable. I tried googlebar lite which I'm afraid proved too 'lite' for my needs - spell check, translate etc. I downloaded 4 because it supports googlebar - do any of the later FF versions also support it?

This is how I made My Google toolbar to work, specially the bookmarks. It is now working perfectly like before and all the features are kept. Here is how I did it.

'''10 steps of how to use Google Toolbar on Firefox 15.0.1'''

1. – Uninstall Firefox from your computer {**Optional (including personal data}

2. – Install Firefox 4 Download and install Firefox version 4 from FileHippo http://www.filehippo.com/download_firefox/9506/

3. – Open Internet Explorer and save the Google Toolbar for Firefox from FileHippo http://www.filehippo.com/download_google_toolbar_firefox/ Click on the “Download latest version” on the top right hand side. It should be on Download folder or just save it on your desktop.

4. – Close Firefox and Internet Explorer

5. – Go to firefox prolifes at (this is where this file is in my computer) 

 C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\0n9hnmgg.default\extensions\{3112ca9c-de6d-4884-a869-9855de68056c}

Look for the directory where the Google Toolbar is installed. Mine is located at {3112ca9c-de6d-4884-a869-9855de68056c} directory.

6. – There should be a file called install.rdf in that folder. Open it in a text editor like Notepad or Notepad++ (free and open source). Now you need to change the maxversion (around line 17) 4.0.* Change it to: *.* Save the file and close the editor.

7. – next Go inside the "lib" directory and you will see the toolbar.js file. Open up toolbar.js with a decent editor. (I opened it on Dreamweaver) Find: www.google.com/accounts

and replace ALL with:

accounts.google.com

Restart the Firefox and the Google Toolbar should be showing up

8. – Open Firefox, go to Help/About Firefox and check for updates. Repeat (step 8) until you update to Version 12.

9. – Install Disable Add-on Compatibility Checks 1.3 https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/checkcompatibility/

10. – On Firefox, go to Help/About Firefox and check for updates. Until you have the latest version. I am now Using Firefox - 15.0.1

Good Luck guys……. (and girls of course)
