Now that I have upgraded to Firefox 5.0, I am unable to add my Google or Yahoo toolbar. This is not good. Why is this and when will this issue be resolved?

Why is the Firefox 5.0 browser not allow me to add my previous Google and Yahoo toolbars that I had with Firefox 4?

The GTB 7.1.20110512W version works in Firefox 5.0 by using the Compatibility Reporter extension, I tried it myself due to the large number of postings about the GTB this morning.

Yahoo I have no idea about.

I added the compatibility add-on as suggested above. Then I noticed that Yahoo has a Yahoo Toolbar 2 for Firefox. I added that and the toolbar now works. I'm not sure if I really needed the compatibility add-on for Yahoo, but I needed it for other add-ons.
