this is based on googlebar 0.9.15.14 (link)
In order to install googlebar on a 3.5+ firefox dist then follow these steps:
- download the original xpi: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/33
- renane .xpi to .zip or open with an archive extractor
- open install.rdf with a text editor
- locate: em:maxVersion=”3.0.*”
- change to em:maxVersion=”X.X.*” [for instance: em:maxVersion=”3.5.*]
- pack everything back into the an xpi file
- install as normal.
Update:: For firefox 3.6 use googlebar 0.9.20.03
.
Thanks so much, Modestos. Is there a way the modified googlebar could be adopted by the googlebar team, and made available on the firefox addons site?
Thank you ***so*** much!!! I was online for half an hour trying to figure out how to download the 0.9.15.14. Every time I tried, (even in IE), the menu just disappeared in the middle of the download. When I found your site, I was able to install the xpi you created, and without any trouble!
Your efforts are much appreciated.
You saved me! A million thanx!

Thanks, excellent post.
I still cannot understand why this gone obsolete, it is much much better compared to the official google toolbar.
