Recently updated to 5.0 version - lost Google Toolbar(not compatable) that included favorites/bookmarks. Lost them. Help!!
After updating to 5.0 Version, the Google toolbar was lost. In an attempt to download it message said it was not compatible with 5.0. The toolbar had a bokmarks icon with my most used website. They are all gone and I can't locate them.

See the links in the following, you can access your Google Bookmarks from any computer regardless of what browser, and without extensions. You can bookmark that web page on your bookmarks toolbar with an abbreviation that makes sense to you or simply create a bookmark with a keyword to invoke it;
The Google Toolbar is no longer supported by Google in Firefox 5 and up, you may be able to get what you want from it for a limited time, the directions to install the Google Toolbar were posted before Google actually announced dropping support.

If this solves your problem then mark as solved, if there is an aspect that is not covered directly or through searching extensions on that page, or other searching that you can try, please indicate what is not covered and describe what it does and we will try to help you with a Firefox solution. Don't expect to see anything that is an exact replacement of a Google Toolbar feature. Likewise if you have additional solutions not covered others would likely want to hear about them.
