As a result of the Firefox5 update, I was informed that there was a conflict with my Google toolbar. Afther the update installed I lost the Google tool bar. I don't understand and would like to have the Google tool bar restored. Can you help me.?
I received a screen message that a Firefox5 update was available and was advised to install it. I did. As part of the installation process a message was posted indicating that the update was not compatible with my Google toolbar. I don't know why, because I have been using Google and Firefox compatibly for some time.

You can force 5.0 "compatibility" with the "Compatibility Reporter" extension, or with extensions.checkCompatibility using about:config. Use at your own risk
Ed Muller ("the-edmeister") installed the Google Toolbar because of so many complaints (/questions) to see it that would work, and reported that it worked as well as those with the problem.

'I found that Google Toolbar does indeed work, but McAfee Site Advisor does not. It would be nice if the update would tell you what's not compatible BEFORE installing itself.'
i want to install google toolbar for firefox 5.o,need your help.thanks!!
Not working
It is absolutely nuts that I updated to 5.0 and now I'm missing my Google Toolbar and most importantly SPELLCHECK! I never would have updated had I know of this problem. Talk about an essential tool. Come on Firefox! I'll be using another browser until you can get this problem fixed!
question on spell checking, added
The Google Toolbar problem has already been answered above by installing an extension. If the Spell Checker was an extension the same solution would almost certainly work, there is very little difference between Fx4 and Fx5.
Firefox has its own Spelling Checker which you can use without installing an extension. In fact you can even spell check web pages.

More information on configuration variables available in about:config (entries) and for users not familiar with the process there is about:config (How to change) -- Specialized list of only Tabs configuration variables.
