I cannot add tabs or new icons. Therefore I cannot open any email accounts easily in Firefox. Help!

In earlier versions of firefox, I used the google toolbar, which is now banned. No subsitute tabs or icons for frequently visited sites is offered by Firefox 6. Indeed, no library of icons even seems to be available. There is a page on how to add icons that offers zero icons and does not appear to function at all except as a useless irritant. I cannot now get to my gmail. Nor can I do a google search because Firefox 6 keeps erasing the google search bar. This is the worst Firefox ever. Can anyone help me with adding icons and getting to my email without going through a drop down menu?

Google Toolbar
There are some solutions and alternatives for Google Toolbar functions in the articles below. There are also links within those articles to solutions and alternatives.

Google decided that they will no longer produce the Google Toolbar for Firefox versions after Firefox 4. Future versions of Google toolbar will only work with IE7-9. Google Toolbar is not available on any other browser, even Google's own browser.

Alternatives:


Cannot add icons
See: How do I customize toolbars? and Toolbar customization (Mozillazine)


Cannot add new tabs (if you have it installed)
Uninstall the Ask Toolbar. It can cause that problem.
