upgraded to 5.0 There is no Google toolbar. I have lost my older bookmarks

The Google Bookmarks are web pages available anywhere on any machine so you would still have them available as web pages. You must be logged into Google on your account.

Those Google Bookmarks appear to be easy to share, but Firefox bookmarks are so much more powerful. There are Firefox extensions to help you use your Google bookmarks.

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.

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.

Install this add-on which does pretty much the same thing as the Google Toolbar did: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/googlebar/
