The fact that Google are no longer producing a toolbar for Firefox is like telling Bill Gates that his Grandmother is no longer going to send a check for $100.00 on his birthday. Long story short, regardless of your setup in Firefox 4 or higher, Ctrl+L or Ctrl+K give you access to all the search power you need.Īs far as the sidewiki and translation parts of the toolbar are concerned, meh, I’m not fussed. When the separate Google search box is hidden and just the address bar is displayed, hitting Ctrl+K will immediately redirect that tab to the front page of Google, where you will find the cursor already placed in the search field ready for you to type a query and get the result that way. If you run Firefox 4 (or higher) with the separate Google Search box hidden, so you just have the address bar spanning the entire width of the page like Google Chrome, then you just hit Ctrl+L to put the cursor into the address bar and you can type a query and hit enter and BAM! a Google results page. If you run Firefox 4 (or higher) with the separate Google Search box to the right of the address bar, then all you need to do in order to access the search power of Google is hit Ctrl+K and the puts the cursor in the search box, type something, hit Enter and BAM! a Google results page. I currently use Firefox 5 and I will be upgrading to Firefox 6 as soon as it comes out.

I agree with one of the earlier posters, it takes up to much UI and just adds clutter to the screen and it looks antiquated.

I have never used the Google Toolbar as I never saw the point in it.
