Firefox 7. cancels my IP connection

I asked a question about Ff 7. last week, and now that it is required for me to update again, I must repeat my complaint and add an important reason why Ff 7. will hurt my reliable connections.

I updated to Ff 7. 3 days ago but returned to Ff6.2 because Ff 7. excludes the Yahoo! toolbar. AT&T is my ISP, and it happens to be aligned with Yahoo! and its toolbar and apps. My e-mail navigates through Yahoo!

Therefore I can't upgrade to Ff 7. It would cost me my IP connection....So as this is offered to me again, I have little incentive to use it!

--Unless Firefox browser can offer another way for me to keep Yahoo! Can it? marlem388

The toolbar only provides shortcut to functions. It does not initiate a connection or anything like that.

OK, fmdeveloper,

Thank you for that info.

Then what other way do I have to get the toolbar? Can I simply download it without the Ff add-on through Firefox 7 ?

In other words, is it still possible for me to download Yahoo! toolbar from the Yahoo! site without interfering with Ff 7's functions?

Thank you for elaborating a bit more on this. marlem388

To fmdeveloper:

All right, I figured it out on my own.

I downloaded Yahoo! toolbar 2.4 from its own site--http://toolbar.yahoo.com.

That worked!

So thanks, fmdeveloper, and please pass this info on to anyone else who doesn't know what to do about a missing toolbar!
