Google to Release Firefox Toolbar

Posted by samzenpus on from the new-toolbar dept.

daria42 writes "Google is about to release a Firefox version of its toolbar, according to an e-mail sent to developers of the open source GoogleBar project. The e-mail claims to have been sent by Google engineer Fritz Schneider and is dated 1 July. "It has pretty much the same features as the latest IE toolbar except of course for things like the popup blocker," the e-mail said (Pop-up blocking is an in-built feature of Firefox)."

  1. Why so late ? by karvind · · Score: 4, Interesting
    I am not trying to be troll here, but why Google waited so long to provide the toolbar for a non-IE browser ?

    How about other neat google goodies like Google Desktop Search and Picasa photo organizer ? Any guess if they would provide these utilities for *nix too.
