Firefox 10 , not so wonderful
If you like your favourite Ad-ons don't update to Firefox 10

Hope they sort a few things out but it appears they have gotton narky with Google and the Google toolbar for FF doesn't work .
A good alternative is Startpage.

The Firefox Google Toolbar doesn't work on FF10 , purposely by the sound of it as FF isn't impressed with Googles new privacy rulings.
I'll stick to Startpage as the normal Google Toolbar doesn't appeal to me .

Google Toolbar hasn't worked in ff since version 5, unless you had the Add-on Compatibility Reporter installed. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/

but it appears they have gotton narky with Google

No, Google have made the decision not to support the toolbar any longer.
Read about it at

http://support.google.com/toolbar/bin/answer.py?hl=en&topic=15356&answer=1342452

though they don't really give a reason though I guess it is because of their own product Chrome. They also give suggestions for similar functionality by installing certain add-ons.
