How to make Google Toolbar to work with Firefox 15.0.1




This is how I made My Google toolbar to work, specially the bookmarks.
It is now working perfectly like before and all the features are kept. Here is how I did it.

10 steps of how to use Google Toolbar on Firefox 15.0.1

1. Uninstall Firefox from your computer {**Optional (including personal data}

2. Install Firefox 4
Download and install Firefox version 4 from FileHippo

3. Open Internet Explorer and save the  Google Toolbar for Firefox from FileHippo
http://www.filehippo.com/download_google_toolbar_firefox/
Click on the “Download latest version” on the top right hand side. It should be on Download folder or just save it on your desktop. To install it on Firefox just open Firefox and locate this file (google-toolbar-beta-win-h_asknot-d_asknot.xpi) amd drag it to the Firefox window.

4. Close Firefox and Internet Explorer

5. Go to firefox prolifes at (this is where this file is in my computer)
C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\0n9hnmgg.default\extensions\{3112ca9c-de6d-4884-a869-9855de68056c}
Look for the directory where the Google Toolbar is installed. Mine is located at {3112ca9c-de6d-4884-a869-9855de68056c} directory.

6. There should be a file called install.rdf in that folder. Open it in a text editor like Notepad or Notepad++ (free and open source).
Now you need to change the maxversion (around line 17)
<em:maxVersion>4.0.*</em:maxVersion>
Change it to:
<em:maxVersion>*.*</em:maxVersion>
Save the file and close the editor.

7. next Go inside the "lib" directory and you will see the toolbar.js file.
Open up toolbar.js with a decent editor. (I opened it on Dreamweaver)
Find:
www.google.com/accounts
and replace ALL with:
accounts.google.com
Restart the Firefox and the Google Toolbar should be showing up

8. – Open Firefox, go to Help/About Firefox and check for updates. Repeat (step 8) until you update to Version 12.

9. – Install Disable Add-on Compatibility Checks 1.3

10. – On Firefox, go to Help/About Firefox and check for updates. Until you have the latest version. I am now Using Firefox - 15.0.1

Good Luck guys……. (and girls of course)
