I have an iMac desktop Operating System version 10.7.5. Current Firefox Version 26 allows me to use AOL toolbar. When I went to download / install updated Firefox version 27.1, message that appeared said this version was incompatible with AOL toolbar. Installation could only be complete if I disabled AOL toolbar which is NOT an option.

Please advise when this Firefox version 27.1 incompability issue will be fixed.

Thanks in advance.

hello, this would be a question for aol - it's always the job of a third-party developer that provides an extension that is hooking into firefox to make it compatible with new browser versions.

The message likely said it was the toolbar that was not compatible with Firefox 27.0.1. It is up to the Extension authors to make their Extension compatible with Firefox not the other way.

Unless the Extension is ties with a application with a binary like with Antivirus toolbars, the majority of Extensions that have been compatible since say Firefox 10.0 should still work for example.

Have you checked for updates for this Aol toolbar extension?
