Is firefox 5.0 compatible with Google toolbar?
Is firefox 5.0 for windows vista home compatible with the Google toolbar? if not, are you planning to make it compatible. I can't upgrade to it until it is compatible! Thanks

The Google Toolbar still works just fine with Firefox 5.0, even though it says it's not compatible. However, because of Firefox' poor compatibility design, until Google releases a new version, you need to install Mozilla's Add-On Compatibility Reporter extension from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/15003 and restart Firefox twice.
Each extension specifies which is the maximum compatible version, which is probably 4.0 in your case ('your' as in '90% of users') as Firefox did not give devs any time to verify and re-release their extensions for version 5.0.
The Add-On Compatibility Reporter extension basically tells Firefox to ignore the maximum compatible version so the extension can still work on version 5.0, just like it did on 4.0.
