Firefox 4 was replaced by Firefox 5 and is no longer supported.
- Security and stability issues in Firefox 4 will not be updated in Firefox 4; those issues have been fixed in Firefox 5.
- Only 2 Firefox versions are currently supported: Firefox 3.6.19 (support to end soon) and Firefox 5.
- Firefox 3.6.20 (replacing 3.6.19) and Firefox 6 (replacing Firefox 5) are scheduled to be released on 08/16/2011 (subject to change).
There are some suggestions in the articles that follow to replace some functions of the Google toolbar.
Google decided that they will no longer produce the Google Toolbar for Firefox beyond Firefox 4.
Future versions of Google toolbar will only work with IE7-9. Google Toolbar is not available on any other browser, even Google's own browser.

- Autofill Forms: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/autofill-forms/
Autofill Forms, among other Add-ons to replace that function, is on the suggested list of replacements in two of the links that I previously posted. All of the suggested Add-ons should be reviewed by the user to determine which might best suit the needs of the individual user

Autofill Forms uses the master password to save form data securely, so an extension like that should be used with sensitive data like credit card numbers.
