We really need an update for 3.5... The official google toolbar is terrible.

apinto2k8's instructions for making googlebar work with FF3.5 are correct. If you're getting the error "install script not found" after following those steps, it's possible your ZIP file creator (WinZip, 7-Zip, etc.) is putting the googlebar files under a subdirectory within the zipfile. The googlebar files (install.rdf, install.js, etc.) must be in the top-level directory within the ZIP (XPI) file.

I like this add-on better than the official Google Toolbar from Google. The double-back-arrow button that returns you immediately to the Google search results page is awesome, and that isn't in the official Google version. I like the overall look of this one and its icons a lot better too. Now, can't we get an update that's compatible with FF 3.5?? C'mon fellas!

John, could we please, please have an update for FF3.5?
None of the suggested workarounds have worked for me and I miss my googlebar dearly. It is by far my most used Firefox add-on.

Changed the max version and still doesn't work. Says cannot install because of security issues. >:| I hate having to go through all this every single time firefox updates.

For those of you using Firefox 3.5, the solution is simple:
1. Download the googlebar XPI (just Google for "googlebar 0.9.15.14");
2. Unzip the file (don't worry, it's really a ZIP file);
3. Edit the file install.rdf and change the maxVersion attribute value from "3.0.*" to "3.5.*";
4. Save and zip the file back with the same name;
5. Drag and drop the file to Firefox;
6. Enjoy!

This by far the best firefox extension out there. It is much better than googles own google toolbar. An update to make it compatable with Firefox 3.5 is highly sort after.

This is an indispensable tool.
Plea for update!

This is by far my favorite add on, particularly because of the added google searches that are only available through this bar. I hope it'll be updated to Firefox 3.5 soon. I would've waited to upgrade if I'd known I couldn't use this add on. (That's how much I use it!)

This is my favorite extension of all and I MUCH prefer it to Google's own toolbar. Please keep supporting it.

Currently running 0.9.15.14 w/ Vista 64bit, no problems to report.
This is by far the best toolbar to use with Mozilla. The 'google version' of the google toolbar lacks some key customization features that this toolbar has. The interface is more logical as well. This is THE most efficient way to tap the vast resources of Google.
One lesson I learned when Firefox went to v.3 is to wait a little while before upgrading to the new version of Firefox, until Googlebar comes out with a version to support the new Firefox.

Positiv:
Funktioniert mit Firefox 3.0.5, deutsch, saubere Einstellung der Optionen.
Sehr komplizierte Einstellung zu vieler nicht benötigter Funktionen. Die für mich wichtigsten Funktionen fehlen jedoch.
Fehlende Funktionen:
Maps Search nur f. 2 Länder United States & United Kingdom, alle anderen Länder wie auch Österreich, Deutschland, ... sind nicht einstellbar.
Eine Google Toolbar ohne Bookmarks wie beim GMarks Firefox Add-On, ohne Link zu Google Reader & ohne Link zu Google Alerts ist für mich nicht zu gebrauchen.
Diese notwendigen Features fehlen sowohl bei Googlebar Lite 4.6.8 als auch beim Add-On GoogleBar 0.9.15.14.
Daher ziehe ich statt dieser beiden Add-Ons das Add-On GMarks mit den Google Bookmarks vor.

But it doesn't have the page rank icon, does it?? I need something that will show me PR for the current page.

Excellent but on FF3 it doesn't update GMail even if I set it on 5 min.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (0.9.15.14).Sorry to hear you are having a problem with Gmail. If you visit the Googlebar Forum... I can try and help you out there, but not here.

Love this addon, and can't live without it.
Can you fix the version numbers for versions it works with please? It won't install for any version under 3 now. A 2.0.0.16 instlal or update fails. Lots of folks are likely getting failed updates because of the version numbering.
Will not lower a stated minVersion in an install.rdf... for some strange reason. Thanks for coming back and pointing this out. I have submitted a new version (0.9.15.13) with that corrected. I had been mistaken in the thought... that amo could override the minVersion value... as it does for maxVersion. I hope they will approve it quickly this time. Today is 07/27/08. Let's see. :)
