Comments on: Firefox 3 finally gets the Google Toolbar http://www.mickmel.com/blog/200806/firefox-3-finally-gets-the-google-toolbar/ My take on social media and SEO Wed, 10 Mar 2010 11:10:33 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Dan http://www.mickmel.com/blog/200806/firefox-3-finally-gets-the-google-toolbar/comment-page-1/#comment-179 Dan Sun, 27 Jul 2008 21:22:07 +0000 http://www.mickmelseo.com/?p=91#comment-179 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.
