Firefox 3 finally gets the Google Toolbar

by mickey on June 16, 2008

For those of you that love the Google Toolbar, but have been missing it with Firefox 3, your wait is over!

I figured we’d see it updated this week, since the public release of Firefox 3 is scheduled for tomorrow.  I also expect we’ll see an update to the Google Earth plug-in very soon, since it still doesn’t work on Firefox 3 yet.  For that matter, there are a lot of plug-ins that still don’t work on FF3.  How many will get updates this week?

OK, so I’m a naysayer to Google Toolbar–or any toolbar for that matter. Most don’t live up to promotion; many are simply junk and, worse yet, operatives for spyware (a category that Google Toolbar certainly does not fit).

I have, though, had to deal with browser issues caused by their toolbar. Open browser, 15 minutes later the homepage finally posts. After a number of troubleshooting steps, online searches, and other attempts, it wasn’t until after Google Toolbar was removed that the browser would properly load.

As a support technician, I’ve found this problem on three different computers–all with the same solution.

Pet peeve: Adobe, cCleaner, Java, and any number of other applications that want to install a toolbar by default. Argh. Oh well, uncheck another box…click Next.
