Firefox 3.6 allows Google toolbar and search history drop down. Firefox 3.6 will not be supported much longer, according to your website. I upgraded to Firefox 4 and lost the Google feature. I upgraded to Firefox 5 and, again, lost the Google feature. So I retreated back to Firefox 3.6. Why are you excluding Google and when are you going to fix it so I can use it and its search history page?

The Google Toolbar is developed by Google and they have decided not to release a new version of their toolbar that is compatible with Firefox 5.0. See these Google articles for more information:
Toolbar not available for Firefox 5 or newer versions

In order to retain the Google toolbar and its search history drop-down, can I accomplish this by deleting Firefox and downloading Google Chrome...or Opera.... or Safari?? Which should I choose and why?

The Google toolbar is available only for Internet Explorer and Firefox. You can continue using Firefox 3.6 and Google toolbar till Mozilla supports Firefox 3.6. After that, you could install the add-ons that provide similar functionalities as Google toolbar. These add-0ns are listed in this article: Toolbar not available for Firefox 5 or newer versions .
