Why Good,

I have no use of a Google Toolbar for my Firefox.

I already have a search engine box to type searches in next to the address bar.

All this does is take up wasted space on my screen. Pop-up blocking is already found in Firefox, I block ads through adblock, I block java scripts with no-script, and and do my spell checking with spellbound.

None of those extensions take up any screen space and are integrated within existing space.

I just don't see any need for this.

Regards,
Joe

Firefox already has a google tool bar. I got it from Firefox website.
It did not work well. The autofill did not come up when I tried to download it. And now I tried to remove it and I can't.

I had weird things happen with no-script, froze my browser and crap. I got rid of it.

I've pretty much even stopped using adblock since I've found the hosts file that blocks a lot of the annoying website defacers... http://www.everythingisnt.com/hosts.html

Haven't had any problems, even on Drudge, ever since I started using it.
