Upgraded to v 5.0 and now my Google Tool Bar is "incompatible".

I cannot install the Google Tool Bar in Firefox v 5.0.

I have used it in all previous FF versions but now when I attempt to install I get an "incompatibility" error. Any plans to fix this or should I go back to Chrome?

Extensions for Firefox, such as the Google Toolbar, include a list of compatible Firefox versions. Currently, the Google Toolbar only goes up to Firefox 4. However, people have tested and it actually works on Firefox 5, so there are two workarounds:

(1) Edit a file to revise the range of compatible versions

(2) Install an add-on that lets you ignore the range of compatible versions

This thread has info on both approaches: google toolbar does not work with firefox 5.0. why not! | Firefox Support Forum | Firefox Help.

Any luck?
