Firefox keeps trying to get me to upgrade to 5.0 but when I had that before I couldn't get the google toolbar and I need it.
I need google toolbar but 5.0 won't let me have it. Please quit reminding me to upgrad to it until it is compatible.

You can turn off update checking Tools > Options > Advanced > Update but Firefox 4.0 is no longer supported, so you should update to 5.0
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.

In any case you can find several alternative solutions, and you can start working on them now, see
