Why is Google Toolbar no longer working? Same for using Gmail.

Last night, I updated two add-ons (one of them was Personas, but I forget the other). Immediately after, I kept getting a stop script error. Then Google Toolbar just stopped working. The buttons disappeared or stopped working, as did the search bar. I uninstalled it and went to bed. This morning, I tried to open an e-mail in Gmail (like I've always been able to do) by clicking the mailto link, and nothing comes up. I checked and my setting is correct in the Applications tab of Firefox.

Does anyone know what's going on? I also should add that a couple of days ago, I updated Java as well. But this problem didn't come up right away. Running in safe mode and trying mailto links again does not solve the problem.

Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems and Troubleshoot issues with plugins like Flash or Java to fix common Firefox problems

If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Yesterday another user reported a conflict with the Personas Plus extension and the Google Toolbar extension; no mention of a Gmail - mailto problem though. See if that Gmail problem is gone with the Personas Plus extension disabled.
