Google Releases Toolbar 2 for Firefox
By the Betanews Staff | Published April 6, 2006, 2:42 PM
Google on Thursday released a beta of its second Toolbar revision for Firefox, adding RSS feed integration with the Google Personalized Homepags and improving search functionality with previous queries, spell checking and suggestions. Toolbar v2 for Firefox also catches mailto links and opens them within Gmail rather than a desktop e-mail client.
"As a dedicated Firefox user, I think that the latest version enhances an already innovative browser. Meanwhile, you IE Toolbar 4 fans may notice that the feature sets aren't identical. That's because Firefox and IE users have different needs," said Google software engineer Justin Voskuhl. "Rest assured that we're working to get the most popular features in both versions."
How does this compare to the MozDev googlebar? That one was far superior to Google's first attempt at a google toolbar.

Anyone having problems installing the new toolbar over top of the old version? I even uninstalled the old one first, restarted Firefox and when I try to install 2.0 and restart FF the old one shows up!!! It did work on another computer with a new install of FF.

RSS Feed?? Quite useless because FireFox has his own RSS Feed which works just fine.

Oh, happy day!!!!!
BTW: works fine on win9x too. Also, will not install if downloading w/ another browser-- though it will require the standard FF closing/re-opening.

I love this toolbar v.1 It does speelchecking in my native Polish Language :) It's also better than native firefox "find in text".

That's funny: that's what you call typist's spaztia-- i do it all the time...one's mind is so fucused on making sure to hit an upcoming double consonant's key twice, that one's electrocircuits too eagerly jump the gun and double-strike the preceding letter's key.
It's actually a sign of high intelligence and a sharp mind(the converse of a Droopy Dog-style doubling up a following letter)......
