Google Toolbar for Firefox

Google Toolbar is a Firefox add-on designed to enhance the functions of the web browser in order to increase productivity and to create a more pleasant browsing experience.

The toolbar can help you enhance the regular search field that is present in Firefox. Some of the special features are that you can use it to search in the current website, to share links and to automatically fill forms. It also remembers the search history and allows you to clear it with just one click, directly from the popup window.

When performing a search most users want to get relevant results and this can be done by choosing where to look. You can search the whole Internet, the current website or certain websites such as the photo sharing websites. The toolbar includes a few options but you can also add new buttons from the Google website.

If you use a Gmail email account you can quickly go to your inbox and view the unread messages with one click. The add-on also allows you to share a web page on multiple social networking websites that can be accessed from the Share button. The list includes the most popular ones but you can choose from more than fifty websites in the Options window.

The translation function is also present with this toolbar and allows you to select the languages that you want to translate from. The browser automatically detects the language of the page and offers to translate it. If you do not want to translate the entire page but only some words, you can activate the Word Translator and get the translation by hovering a word with the mouse cursor.

One of the most useful functions is the AutoFill. It allows you to create multiple profiles with contact information that is automatically entered in the text fields on a web page form. You can also use the automatic filler to remember the information about your credit card in order to speed up online transactions.

Google Toolbar is a great tool for anyone that uses the Firefox web browser and wants to improve the browsing experience.
