Although I've closed all opened tabs before closing Firefox 5, these same tabs and web pages reappear each time I reopen Firefox 5. ALSO - - - - - My Google Toolbar vanished when I upgraded to Firefox 5. Along with some useful apps included in the Toolbar, I used the "Auto Fill" feature that securely held my personal info and credit card info, thus making it easy to complete online purchases. Now, after installing Firefox 5, the Toolbar vanished and I can't seem to be able to reinstall it using Firefox 5. QUESTION: If the Toolbar can't be reinstalled where is my personal and credit card information?

I have the same problem, specifically the auto-fill portion. Google toolbar works fine but the auto fill option for credit cards etc is gone.
