We use the google toolbar bookmarks. When we upgraded our firefox, the toolbar was gone. We went into google to re-install it and it comes back saying it is not compatible with firefox 5.0. That seems crazy to us. On our mac we have it. We are on Vista on this computer. We cannot get an answer from google. Please help us. It only happened when we upgraded the firefox.

The Google Toolbar "will not be supported on Firefox 5 and future versions."

Take a look at the GBookmarks extension:

The Google Toolbar 7.1.20110512W version does work pretty good in Firefox 5.0 by using the Compatibility Reporter extension. But not every feature works 100%.
