It is Google that does not support the Google Toolbar in Firefox. There is no Google Toolbar in Google Chrome either. Google has determined that the features in Firefox (that includes other extensions) adequately replace the Google Toolbar.
Don't expect Firefox support to last for 3.6 versions for a long time. If Google will only support their toolbar on obsolete software then the claim for support will become more meaningless. You can start working on the alternatives now regardless of what version of Firefox you are on.
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.

In any case you can find several alternative solutions, and you can start working on them now, see

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.
