Vald lösning

The Google Toolbar still works just fine with Firefox 5.0, even though it says it's not compatible. However, because of Firefox' poor compatibility design, until Google releases a new version, you need to install Mozilla's Add-On Compatibility Reporter extension from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/15003 and restart Firefox twice.

Each extension specifies the maximum compatible version, which is probably 4.0 in your case ('your' as in '90% of users') as Firefox did not give devs any time to verify and re-release their extensions for version 5.0.

The Add-On Compatibility Reporter extension basically tells Firefox to ignore the maximum compatible version so the extension can still work on version 5.0, just like it did on 4.0.

another classic case of , " if it ain't broke we will fix it til it is" Thanks for the info I upgraded when firefox put up a box to upgrade and made it seem like security was at risk if I did not What a mistake on my part

Well I upgraded even before the new version was officially rolled out and could not believe it myself. :(

I did what you suggested with the add on and have my toolbar back. I will be very careful in the future when they prompt me to upgrade. your suggestion took care of my problem not so much as solving it as by passing it Thanks
